    5.7l mercruiser gen 1 alpha 1 to vortec head swap problem please help...

    Depends on what your comfortable with. Even with a new carb I would check what the plugs look like after a few runs. Slow quickly and pull some plugs. Don't want to idle much because that can change the reading Either that or have to install exhaust bungs and use a air fuel ratio meter

    ignition switch source for fuel pump relay kit?

    In my example, you can use the same switch you have now. There is a common (C), normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) terminals. The Yellow/red which is currently connected to your start is connected to the NC terminal. Connect the NO side and connect to the purple wire on the motor...

    ignition switch source for fuel pump relay kit?

    Agree sort of with mechanical will last, but no so sure about the amount of time. Many like to change to electric so the fuel bowl fills up faster if its dry. They still use mechanical pumps on high performance motors built today The easy fix without a relay

    Fuel tank filling, possible vent line issues

    If your Rinker is like mine, the vent is part of the gas cap. Mine also snaps down to latch. If your sure the line is blown out, then look closer at the cap. If all else fails and your not in rough water, unlatch the cap and let is lay closed This is assuming your issues are motor starts...
