Viper, you have to look at the dates of the post, in this case 2007. Also, if you read the thread in his first post he doesn't have a choke. He has a primer. If you have a question or need support after reading an old posting, just start a new post.
Amps doesn't have anything to do with it, it's pickup points in one revolutions of the flywheel. I would think the directions of the tach would be correct.
I don't think it will harm your tach if it's set wrong, it will just read incorrectly. You can then turn off the motor and set it to the other calibration. Don't trust me on this one though, let others confirm.
Ok, last post for me on this one. The part number you provide in the picture is one of the teleflex xtream cables. I couldn't find it. Teleflex and Seastar have joined each other and it looks like Sierra did to. I found Sierra teleflex cables with different part numbers. Quite a confusing go...
The picture is not of a throttle cable and shifter cable, that is the old shifter cable and the new one. He says, if I'm interpreting this correctly, those are the orientations when they are both in the neutral positions.
Mine also just run down the starboard side. To me, it would appear like you just installed it incorrectly in the box. Did you compare both ends before you installed? That would be the clincher.
Sorry, still having a hard time evaluating. Picture is of two shifter cables next to each other. But they both can't be hooked up to the box at the same time. Are you saying that is what they look like when they are individually hooked up? (Old one is in the middle of it's range and new one is...
To me it looks like your old one is in neutral or close and your new one is in the forward position. Are you saying you have both cables into a control box???
Double checked torque specs. Head bolts are in inch pounds as well which converts to 18.5 ft pounds. If you don't have an inch pound wrench I would again do them maybe by feel. Not sure a inexpensive ft lbs wrench will be that accurate. Better to torque them though. Also, picture on head...
I apologize, I missed that you had replaced all of the relays. I would guess that the neutral locater needs to be closed in order to make the starter engage...by pulling the wire you opened it. I keep thinking about that ground (kill wire) but electrical gremlins are tough. I hope someone has a...
Ficht motors are tough. I wouldn't think the emm would shut down the starter but maybe. Others my might know.
I would have thought neutral locater too or short somewhere. Have you tried jumping the starter when that condition exist?
