    1968 MerCruiser 120 sterndrive water pump

    The relief ports are at the bottom of the transom assembly and just big enough to put your finger in them. There is one on each side

    1968 MerCruiser 120 sterndrive water pump

    No When thermostat is closed water doesn't flow into the block but flows directly out the exhaust. When thermostat opens water flows into block and water in block flows out the exhaust. Water in = same amount of water out

    1968 MerCruiser 120 sterndrive water pump

    You either have a clog, inlet water tube is not positioned correctly, or impeller is not pumping. Remove the hose going to the thermostat housing from the drive and see if water comes out when motor is started

    Fuel delivery head scratcher

    Only other thing is to go back to electrical, but you said no fuel at the carb Can measure voltage at the positive side of the coil to see if it drops out but that has no bearing on the fuel supply Only other thing is if the fuel tank is empty, as in a leak or someone stole it, but would smell...

    Fuel delivery head scratcher

    Ok it doesn't run on the main tank but does on a gas can If that is correct then its the valves, collapsed fuel line of tank pickup is clogged, and its on both tanks.

    7.4 MPI Fuel pressure regulator/damper?

    Having fuel in the vacuum line could mean the cool fuel or the rail regulator could be leaking. I would remove the one on the rail because it would be easier to get to and test

    Fuel delivery head scratcher

    With 2 tanks, and each tank feeding 1 motor, and both engines die within a few seconds of each other this would normally be an electrical problem. You did mention (as I understand) your unable to draw fuel from the tank? Agree, the odds would be great to have both antisiphon valves go bad at...

    1968 MerCruiser 120 sterndrive water pump

    I hope the muffs are attached and water is turned ON before the motor was started Sounds are difficult in writing forum, but the clicking might be from exhaust flappers/shutters. If they are the older metal style they can cause this. With little water exiting the prop hub or exhaust reliefs...

    Welcome Back!

    The reason I like that link so much is because you could see if someone got an answer fairly quick. If the OP post again to his own thread it no longer shows up in unanswered nor anywhere else which would be easy to find.

    Fuel delivery head scratcher

    So you have a outboard primmer bulb on a inboard motor? If so that's bad news Have a glass inline filter before the carb, more bad news You traced back to the separator filter, but tracing the line going from the tank to the separator, there is nothing but fuel line and not another filter...

    Replacing Porch Post

    This winter I'm replacing the decks on on the rental with concrete. Currently have painted 4x4's for the porch's and wanting to replace with something more maintenance free. They make wraps and full load bearing. Don't want to spend a fortune either. Anyone do similar?
