    New 5.7LX No Start, Backfire/Sneeze

    Recheck your firing order Connect a remote start cable so you can crank at the motor. Can do this easy enough at the slave solenoid on top the motor. Turn key ON then jump across the 2 larger contacts (Red/Purple to Yellow/Red), doing this will engage the starter. While cranking rotate the...

    New Battery Installed - No Power!?!

    Is there a battery switch? If no battery switch, need a meter or test light and check power on the starter post where the battery cable connects. If you have trim tabs, do they work? If power is on starter post, check the small post above it where some smaller wires are attached. This is the...

    Engine won’t crank but circuit breaker clicks when I turn ignition on only

    For the most part it doesn't matter what boat you have but does matter what motor and drive you have with an motor problem. How about helping us? In many cases the 50amp breaker is right next to the slave solenoid, if at attached to it on a bracket. When the key is turned to start, the slave...

    Volvo 4.3GLPHUB Cranks Won't Start

    First stop using starting fluid, it can damage things Need to clear up some terms I'm seeing it will crank but not turn over, for me these terms are the same. The motor won't crank or the motor won't turn over, both say the starter is not cranking/turning over the motor. I believe your...

    Oil pressure sender fitting broke off.

    The GL-A has other alarms and any of them can turn the alarm ON. I'm seeing Temp and 2 exhaust temp switches. You probably do have low oil pressure but it could be the switch. If it is the oil switch could change to 10w40 dino oil and that should bring the pressure up a bit

    5.7 gxi-f Timing flat top distributor

    No, that is not how it is done The flat top distributor cap (HVS) is not adjusted with a timing light, it is adjusted without the motor running at all. This is Merc but is done the same way

    Bilge Pump discussions

    Got all the pumps in and I'm getting impressed by Aurelio Tech (Person & Co out of MA). Either tey are coping ideas and improving on them, or others have been coping off them. There is a 1100 GPH bilge pump for only $16 and it looks like Rule, colors and all. The one I picked up to compare...

    2000 volvo 5.7 gx steering hard to the right

    Steering to the right would be easier because the prop is spinning that direction, and hard to left because your pulling against the prop. Is the slot straight up/down as in pic "d" with wrench on it

    Thunder Bolt ignition sensor replacement gone bad

    There is a fuse on top the starter which feeds power to the motor and alternator, its 90 amps But if it blows, normally there is no power for anything. Why are you running power from the battery to the slave?
