Think your main issue may be spark. The TBV ignition is a good solid system when it works.
The most problem cause for the lack of spark is the sensor 892150Q02 in the distributor and that's for the ones which have not had them replaced with new style. New ones have an additional wire which...
With points ignition 11.4V should not have been an issue
Does appear something is killing the spark, we just haven't found it yet. Might be a loose connection. The way it's acting I wouldn't be surprised if electronic ignition was added it would also do it. Might not only because lower...
Guessing same motor S/N 0D817803 as mentioned about replacing the ALT and using a solar charger?
Check the butterfly plates in the carb and see if the screws holding them in place are loose. Could be the plate(s) are offset and won't let it close
Sorry, I mixed yours up with another
Don't know if it has a MEFI, 555 ECM or PCM but... if I had a serial number ...

Got that on the first post, but without knowing what "motor" your working on we cannot help
I'm pretty sure its not a Briggs and Stratton but other then that I have no clue. Might be a Merc, VP, Ilmor, carb, efi, mpi :unsure:
ok, thanks
Here is what we know, and correct if I'm in error
With clear kinked hose in place the motor stays cool
With non-kinkied hose it over heats
The crossover is part intake and part thermostat housing (TH).
Prior to a crossover water moves from the raw water pump to TH and passes...
Not as much with fresh. If something is clogged then less water
A good test is with a short piece of clear hose. Test must be done with boat in the water, a hose will not provide enough flow
Get a short piece of clear hose from the local hardware store, same size is raw water pump hose. Get...
This being a Mercury sport jet I moved it to the Mercury/Mercruiser section. It will get more views.
Never messed with one. I'm looking at the parts and not seeing anything that would tell me what might be the issue. Intake area maybe?
Don't know of a mechanic to recommend in FL
Without hands on, it might be in the crossover. Reason to mention that is motor stays cool when a kinked hose is installed. As before the only reason I can see for the m to i hose is for draining during winterization. There should be no water...
