    Overhauling my 1988 Alpha One Drive Train

    Being a 1988 it should be points. I'm seeing the white/green could go to the Neg side of the coil and also goes to the shift interrupter Pic is from Manual 7 and my guess is the 17 (gray wire) in fact would be 24 (white/green)

    Where does power stop? Is it before the key switch, after it, just where?

    Engine cut out while slowing down....

    If each piston was at TDC when air pressure was connected and most all came out the block, then its the rings

    Engine cut out while slowing down....

    Yes at TDC, I'm thinking there is either the valves are still to tight or there not seating. Could loosen the rocker to see if the spring comes up further Yes, run test at WOT to allow maximum air to be drawn in. Your numbers are so low, not doing WOT would not be the issue currently Could...

    Engine cut out while slowing down....

    I would use the 93, the 130 would be over torque so it has to be a misprint Your serial number comes up 1982 to 1984 3.0

    Engine cut out while slowing down....

    In manual 3 shows it to be torqued in 3 passes to 130 ft lb Passes 55, 90 to 130 Unable to find it in manual 10 Manual 13 list 90 ft lb In any case, if the head was flat within .003 and the correct gasket was used, it would be higher then what your seeing. Measure the height of the valve...

    Agree with Mike, and with compression that low I would be looking at the head again

    Random alarm 5.7L carb'd Bravo 2

    The TBV and knock module might be mounted to the exhaust elbow This is the knock sensor https://forums.iboats.com/attachments/img_7237-1-jpg.337926/ Your switch is this one on the right, and does look kind of rusty

    Fuel gauge issues

    Your previous sender may be a powered type, similar to Centroid products. Need to understand what is there or could change over to the 2 wire type but this would take another gauge (if what you have is a powered sender)

    Boat trailer to utility trailer?

    I took a single axle bass boat, put a deck on it that flips open in the middle with bunks. Its a flat deck for light hauling and flip the middle open and my seadoo rides on it

    Engine starts and dies.

    The 5V line is critical. Any one sensor which draws to much current can cause an issue with the others It might be a simple as a loose or unconnected ground wire on the harness. One small ground wire not making a good connection can cause other sensor issues

    Princess 286 hull spray rail had a hole, soaked with water

    The big IF. If its just in the channel then no harm, if its made it into the hull and the foam, then there is an issue. Water will work its way thru bottom pant, gelcoat and glass. Just should know if it did

    Princess 286 hull spray rail had a hole, soaked with water

    Just what I have seen thru the years. Once water starts getting in, it doesn't take long. You could drill some test holes (6 to 8mm) in like the engine stringers and transom to see. The foam soaks up water fairly easy. My cruiser started with a small leak in the water tank, and by the time...

    Electric fuel pump issues

    Not the point I was making. The starter should have the extra post on the starter so could just wire it up without a relay and only use a oil pressure switch Saying it could, not saying it would

    Princess 286 hull spray rail had a hole, soaked with water

    Welcome aboard Terminology issue, we call that the lifting strakes. With water in that area, most likely the entire hull may need to be gutted. It won't dry out completely no mater how long its left open. The foam is most likely soaked and needs to be removed. Mold will start to grow and it...

    Electric fuel pump issues

    Thanks for the SN, the starter (Gen V 92 to 94) should have the extra terminal. So it could be wired up as in the first pic Would need to understand how yours is wired and what might be the best way to change.

    Fuel guage and tilt guage not working 88 nordic

    Both gauges have power, a ground and a sender wire. Sounds like the Tilt is working, its just the sender is grounding out. The gauges require 240 ohm (down or empty) to 33 ohm (up or full) senders. If the sender wire is grounded the gauge shows up or full. The tilt gauge bottoming out...
