    Carburetor Issues, Dripping Carbs...

    You can check fuel pump pressure by making one with a plastic or brass barbed Tee and so rubber fuel line, and carb fitting from auto parts store. Disconnect from carb, and connect Tee, the use other fitting at carb. Can buy a vacuum fuel pump gauge for $20 or so, or rent from same auto parts...

    Mercruiser 260 weird misfire

    Sounds like a fuel issue. Gas is going bad or its getting water in it. Maybe where you buy gas at end of season. Does it sit outside where rain can get to fill port? To late this season maybe, but try dumping filter contents into clear container to see if there is something except clean gas...

    Mercruiser 260 weird misfire

    Carb is gunked up and it takes some running to clear it up. If your running Stabil year round I would stop, only use it during winterization. The misfire at high rpm is lean condition so carb is not supplying enough fuel until things free up and flow better

    Reverse Issues

    If "mechanic" adjusted correctly then it may need a new lower shift cable. Being a 2005 it should still be good unless its used a lot maybe, or in salt water I most cases when this happens it goes in REV fine but FWD not very well. When this does happens, in most cases its the upper shaft and...

    Starting outside of boat, on stand

    My guess is your doing it correctly because your hear the pump, and it will crank. Check for spark Which distributor does it have?

    Overheating motor

    Retract the flow test comment. Looked in the manual for Gen 2 and the minimum is 1 Gal at 1000 RPM and you were idling and got more then that. Have you checked the exhaust Y pipe? The Y pipe will have exhaust shutters to keep water from back flowing into the motor when stopping fast. If...

    Overheating motor

    What's the motor serial number? Get a short piece of clear hose, double male barbed fitting and 2 hose clamps from the hardware store. Disconnect the hose coming from the drive where it connects to the thermostat housing and install clear hose. With boat in the water see if there are any...

    Carburetor Issues, Dripping Carbs...

    You used air and it cut off the flow. Don't know who much air pressure was used so the comment "for the most part". Changing the float height so the float will close a tad sooner will increase the force if it leaks a bit and the float is pushed harder against seat If its still flooding...

    If a speck of crud got in the needle seat, this would cause initial flooding. If needle was not changed the needle "might" have a nick in it from the crud If fuel pump is at 8 psi or more, the float may not seal it off. Could change the float setting to help compensate or use pressure regulator

    STUCK 6.2L MPI

    A noise is hard to determine, but if a ping would break, I don't think you would hear it. Might have been the noise from a pulley

    Fuel supply module

    Agree their ship from factory, but have you thought about buying the parts inside the module? They show the same but can search on the part numbers and can find them. What issue you having? https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/28505/12586/70
