who's aftermarket site did you get it from. if you got it from Amazon, it will never fit.
the OEM 313080 is still available. https://www.go2marine.com/Seal-Transom-0313080-313080-313080-Johnson-Evinrude-OMC
I used to buy all my stringer parts from http://sterndrive.info/
should be item 18...
most likely you will need to cut the harness back and re-terminate.
easy to do with the correct terminals.
to pull the terminals out of the receptacle, you need to insert the proper tool to release the tab
Im thinking the pitch/diamter is backwards on the OP's statement.
aluminum is 14-1/2" dia, 18P
and the SS is 15-1/4" dia, 18p
the alpha drive wont allow larger than a 15-1/2"
generally 4-blade props are even pitches, so going to assume the 18 is pitch
did you pressure test when it was empty of oil?
If not, keep adding oil until its on the dipstick. then monitor. if it continues to drop, you have a bad seal
IAC should not be open that far. usually about 40-50
the 5.0 being read at 4.23 means something is drawing down the 5.0 reference. could be a bad ground in the harness
its just one of many of Jimmys fleet of boats. he also had a Westport that was being serviced down at Rybovich, and about 5 in the evening, he would do an impromptu show for the Rybovich crew working on his boat.
the labeling is what i figured.
thanks for that.
and at 1100+ is why when the raw water stops flowing, the rubber exhaust couplings that have a 250 F max turn into crispy critters...... its also why I run silicone/nomex hose vs the rubber.
good news on getting what ever flow obstruction in...
well, the replacement that Amazon supposedly sent on Saturday still has not shipped. the one I ordered last night shows it shipped and is out for delivery.
and people wonder why I am constantly muttering "amazon sucks"
To top it off, I am chasing a fed ex package that has been sitting in...
you test fuel pressure with a mechanical pressure gauge at the schroeder valve
verify the crab cap is in good order. get a new one if the old one is more than a year old
test compression with a known good gauge. should be between 140 and 150 psi on all cylinders
it could be a throttle linkage issue
it could be a fuel system issue
it could be a wrong prop issue
it could be an ignition issue
what troubleshooting has been done?
compression test?
fuel pressure?
does your motor have the crab cap?
are the injectors from Mercruiser or ebay or amazon?
