    VP 8.1 GX-i running like crap

    ok, but since it ran fine, motor removed it no longer runs fine, then it starts running fine again, and now it doesn't I would bet it's an electrical issue and a bad connection. Fuel pumps, injectors, sensors, ECM, don't do things that resemble and light switch on/off/on/off

    VP 8.1 GX-i running like crap

    Welcome In most all cases when the motor has issues it will need to be scanned to determine what is happening. The scanner needed is one made by Rinda and will need a adapter to plug into the PCM. Can use the Techmate or Diacom software on your laptop There are some basic checks that can be...

    I need help, boat runs rough and stalls. I pumped new gas and lots more.. I need help

    The motor ran before so replacing the module did nothing except maybe induce another problem, doubtful but can happen. Throwing parts at an issue is never a good idea It's not the coil, distributor or module.

    no, not correctly that is no It's either carb is not adjusted correctly (meaning mixer or idle speed) or timing is way off. There is nothing wrong with increasing rpm to keep motor running and adjusting other things to get everything correct. Remember, when everything is connected as...

    Connecting the interrupter together should not have tried to die, but may not be timed correctly yet, or there may be a module issue. Get it timed correctly then we can start fresh As for the black smoke that would indicate to much fuel

    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    All couplers should have sharp square cut teeth. If teeth are getting worn then the coupler might be wearing to much. If it wears enough the coupler can strip just because of many years of time The alignment tool should slide easy in/out. If it does that then the drive is aligned and/or the...

    Fuel line

    Trident makes good stuff and meets all USCG requirements. Have used it for fuel and raw water suction line. As with all this line, it's stiff and doesn't bend easy

    From what you were saying prior it sound like there was no degree tab but you do have one. The degrees go opposite of what I said because the pulley is passing a stationary tab. If you were to use the pulley, then it would be what I said Having a advance timing light then just dial in what...

    C = 2 x 3.14 x radius C / 360 = distance per degree Multiple (distance per degree) by how many degrees your looking for Remember BTDC is to the right of the notch

    This is where we need to get into what you actually have. Being a 1997 I figure you have EST ignition. If that is the case, need to set timing at 1* BTDC not 12 This is done by using a timing shunt to ground. Also connecting interrupter switch together

    Moving outdrive with engine off?

    I could move my old 1966 Alpha but have not been able to move any of my bravos. To do so this means fluid must be sucked out and thru the pump on the high side without out the pump turning.

    Your good for now, as airshot mentioned, next step is in the water and in gear. With motor in gear the idle should be 600 to 650
