    4.3LX & Weber Carb Service

    Compression is way off Seeing 95 to 167 is to much of a span. How your doing the test and accuracy of gauge can have a bearing but my also be engine problems It use to fire up and run rough but not hardly fires and when it does there is backfire. So check spark and timing

    Verado trim cylinder

    Don't know what I heard pop but there is no way it should have put a strain on the trim system components. The owners manual list this is where the support lever should be placed for transport. The latch will apply weight on the transom support which holds and supports the entire motor. The...

    Verado trim cylinder

    Talking to dealer Tech he said most likely it was the seals. My thought there is the seals are only at the rod ends and neither is leaking on top, it's only on bottom. This should be warranty even if the safety latch caused it to brake something, shouldn't be that flimsy Understand crazy...

    New issue cropped up on my transom/bunk position!

    Those ratchet straps can put a whole lot of force pulling toward the trailer.

    Verado trim cylinder

    Got my manual today, yeah, have another problem :poop: One trim cylinder on SB motor has slight trim cylinder leak and it's on the bottom. While I might be missing an area, I'm passing my hand all over it and only comes up wet on the bottom. This may have been caused by a user but don't see how...

    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    Don't know what to say about the gauges but if power is not applied and they are all the way over, most likely they will need replaced So far as wiring, need to use the ABYC color coding

    Voltage low code 4602-32

    Think you were on to something @dingbat in part. It all started with setting up 1stMate. I tried twice to get the motors to shut down. Ended up with 4 faults, 2 lanyard and 2 low voltage. I could clear the lanyard but not voltage At boat this AM VV remained ON and displayed code. I pulled 2...

    Distributor installation – is this right?!

    Guessing The oil pump and shaft is connected together with a retainer (item 5). The retainer in most cases is nylon and both pieces sort of snap together. Maybe when Dist was removed it slipped up a tad. Could prove out the theory by taking something like a screw driver and tap the shaft down...

    Delta style anchor for coastal MA/RI?

    Delta is a good anchor and holds in the soft and loose stuff My cruiser used a Bruce and always did well for me. All chain and had anything from soft stuff, rocks and tree stumps. A good thing with them is they don't stick out as far and sort of help conceal themselves. The bad is you may need...

    Voltage low code 4602-32

    Thanks appreciate your in site I did find similar info on another forum. The guy forgot to turn Bat switches on before trying to start. The error did go away after another proper restart. I do know during my testing I did this once my self. Yesterday morning I noticed the display was still on...
