    AD41P Ignition staying on

    Item 8 from terminal 3 says it's for a exhaust pressure regulator which was not on B version engines. My take it was only on A versions

    AD41P Ignition staying on

    I'm not seeing the connection to the ALT other than the Red and it should always be hot except when Bat switch is turned OFF

    Mercruiser 260 350v8 choke spring? Different clocked positions

    I wouldn't worry about which one to use because the choke rod is how it's adjusted. Use a center punch and make sure it's dead center, drill slow and you bit should be smaller than threads. This way you might be able to re-tap it. Use heat to help drilling. Best method is remove the manifold...

    Twin Merc 250 fuel burn difference's

    This is my Crapperal twin 250's and the FMS was replaced on starboard because it was burning more fuel than the port. For a couple months all was good, both tracked fairly even. Then the port started burning more fuel than the starboard, not a lot mostly 0.2 GPH on average above 2K to 4K RPM...

    Correct As for the gauges turning on it could be the ignition switch. Measure voltage at the Blue/Red wire on the ignition switch. Actually looking a bit more at the diagram the switch also powers up the circuit board

    Engine wouldn't fire without throttle after overnight

    There is an issue with the fuel system, just not totally sure that is causing the intermittent start issue. Fuel pressure should be 38 to 42 with key ON, and being around 38 is not an issue at idle. What is the battery voltage prior to start and what is it during cranking?

    AD41P Ignition staying on

    VP makes some of the worst diagrams for diesels and are hard to read Item 9 is the alarm and power comes from item 4 (printed circuit card). If you trace the voltages going to the alarm back thru the board you might find one of the diodes might have shorted. A diode flows current in one...
