    Have you check the throttle linkage? Remove throttle cable, with TB fully closed see if it just slides back on. If it does remove and adjust one more turn so it apples a slight pressure to help hold it closed

    Mercruiser 4.3 Alpha One problem - loses power

    help, new fuel pumps and pressure still below specs 2004 5.7 MPI

    Guess we'll just agree to disagree Pump and Reg is new ans OEM Reg controls max pressure. Only way to get more then max pressure is to block off Reg return back to fuel filter
