    1971 Mercury inline 6 135 hp motor

    If gas is old it might have gone bad. How old is it and is you spark white or blue in color?

    120 Mercruiser 2.5L - No spark

    Check continuity, remove wire from coil and attach meter probe. Connect other probe to the points, If points are open the meter should read infinity after a few seconds, if closed will read zero ohms

    89 Mercruiser Alpha 1 gen 1 stiff steering, grinding, loose outdrive

    The PS system is self bleeding, it wouldn't take but a couple turns to purge any air. If the pump is making the noise, place a long screw drive on the pump and the other end against your ear. Can also use a wooden stick, cut off broom handle. Turn the wheel and listen if its coming from the...

    89 Mercruiser Alpha 1 gen 1 stiff steering, grinding, loose outdrive

    If the drive can move and the yoke arm does not then you need a new steering pin. Probably need a new/rebuilt gimbal ring because the bolts were loose and still have play Grinding noise in the PS is either air and fluid is low or most likely the pump is cavating and needs replaced

    Penta D6 White smoke and coolant loss

    Pressure testing is simple, the issue is just drain all the AF. Could actually drain everything, then attach a automotive radiator pressure cap tester on the HX and pump it up to see if there was a leak

    Haven't said what motors and I don't remember Does it happen with just one motor or only when doing both motors?

    Correct

    Mercruiser 3.0 only stays running with key engaged?

    Guys the kill switch is NC for I/O, 2 cycle OB use NO. Power from the key (purple wire) goes thru the kill switch and then to the motor and coil. When pulled it opens removing power to the coil. Bypassing it just takes it out of the equation for now

    Mercruiser 3.0 only stays running with key engaged?

    Do not agree. Just the opposite, left post on solenoid (purple/Yellow, key start) gets power while cranking. Purple (key ON) wire thru resistor

    V drive noise

    Vid doesn't work There should be no noise while in gear. Can be a slight rattle in neutral at idle if the motor is not firing real smooth Unable to find specs (have install and repair manual) on each Walter model. The 26 is not as beefy as the 50. If boat cam with 26 then my thought is, one...

    Penta D6 White smoke and coolant loss

    Depends on how bad the leak is. Not seeing how the HX or Turbo would induce AF in the exhaust. The HX has raw water on one side and AF on the other. If HX leaked then AF would leak into raw water side because pressure would be greater. Turbo has exhaust but only thing to leak into is oil...

    Fuel Delivery/starvation Help troubleshooting

    Is it MPI or EFI? I'm thinking electrical, so I would start with the 10 pin engine connector. Then the rear of the block where the Negative battery cable attaches and should also be engine harness connections. Feel along the engine harness and find any grounds which come out from it to ensure...

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    Less then 90* it is open, it's open at 118 and closes at 119. My comment was if it closed at 110 I wouldn't replace the switch

    Mercruiser 3.0 only stays running with key engaged?

    OK the old one Don't know about the yellow. Normal would be black for Dizzy and Gray for Tach The purple may be the resistance wire and if it is, it may need to be connected to the electric choke. Need to trace that wire to determine where it goes to.

    Mercruiser 3.0 only stays running with key engaged?

    My guess is wiring is not correct. The 99 harness would have only one wire which would be purple going to the + side of the coil. Points wiring would have 2 wires on the + side of the coil. Purple/Yellow coming from the starter solenoid and a Purple resistance wire coming from the electric...

    Volvo 8.1 DPS outdrive

    Could ask @GA_Boater to get your access back The noise is gimbal, U joints or both. Pull the drive and it can be determined.

    3.0L hard starting when warm

    Agree its bad, but it list 110 +/- 8 which means it should be open between 102* to 118* If it closed at 110 but was open at 111* I wouldn't replace it Edit: agree I misspoke at first
