    lifter issue and rock arm registration

    Oil Pressure Sensor Or Switch?

    Need your serial number. Not all but most EFI/MPI motors does not have a direct oil pressure switch to alarm. The oil pressure switch sends signal to the ECM and the ECM is what sounds the alarm. Grounding the switch will not sound the alarm on it's own

    17 vs 19 vs 21 Pitch?

    Not a rule of thumb but depending on the health of your motor you may gain maybe 1 mph top end but hole shot will suffer Manual 3 list WOT at 3900-4300 and if your tach is accurate then your over reving Note you have only so much HP so moving to a high pitch prop just changes the RPM point...

    Engine won’t turn over.

    It's corrosion Start at the battery cables both pos and neg and clean both ends to shinny metal. If that doesn't fix it, pull the 10 pin engine connector apart and clean the contacts on both sides. Reconnect and try again
