    Cruiser restoration and wheelchair adaption

    I like it, should work out nicely, only issue I'm seeing is the length of stroke needed. The trim pump has some great control but not much stroke. Shorting it to lift that distance and having enough mechanical advantage to start going up I'm looking as the main point. Another thought with the...

    Cruiser restoration and wheelchair adaption

    I can understand how the 100kg lift will work, but the next two items are a bit unclear. The two piece scissor box is understandable, but not quite how it can handle the load or where it will be located. Are you looking at something like motorcycle lift but much lighter?

    5.7L Rochester carb issue we think

    The gauge has to be between the fuel pump and carb. There is different ways, the easiest is pick up one of these but it needs a barbed fitting instead of the shrader valve as shown. It can be attached right at the carb. Another way is remove the steel line and install a rubber line with a...

    My 454 won't start,...

    I'm seeing two different fuel rail designs but the fitting is the same. Your looking for a cap which is screwed over the top of a brass shrader valve (like a bicycle tire). The two designs are shown below. The issue the is puzzling for me is after it starts it runs fine. Don't see a weak...

    Boat porpoising

    I've never done this but my thought would be to get an angle finder like this Place the finder next to the transom and see what the angle is, then place it on the forward edge of the leg. The difference between the two angles is the angle you need to make if flat. If after the wedge is...

    Boat porpoising

    It's how weight is distributed and the angle of the tilt. With power trim the drive starts parallel to the transom and in some cases even a bit under. As speed increases the rim can be move out away from the hull until the proposing starts. To much trim starts proposing, to little causes the...

    troubleshooting a possible fried battery charger

    If you sure the connections from charger to the battery are correct and it blows the fuse, then yes the charger is shorted out. I found the manual but it does not have any internal wiring diagrams. https://www.*****************/files/manual-gu2611a1.pdf blocks yet another site

    Black Scorpion 5.7 / Thunderbolt V coil wire

    I took the range of serial numbers and looked them up at Mercury marine website. Mercury site list serial number 0M317000 thru 0W689999, which I started with 0M3317000, 391600 and a few more going higher. All serial numbers are showing the HVS distributer. I'm still thinking someone had...

    Bravo 3, gear lube leak, Mecruiser 350 Mag MPI,

    Could use a drive serial number to see if there is any bulletins out about it, but my first guess is the bearings and/or races are worn. Think your dealing with someone which knows how to replace parts but does not know how to analyze what the issue is

    DELCO VOYAGER PROBLEMS

    Just as I said, the rotation is CW, so before it comes to TDC (12 o'clock) it will be passing 6, 5, 4 ,3 ,2 ,1 then 12. So as it passes 1 or 2 this is before TDC

    DELCO VOYAGER PROBLEMS

    I don't think you have an issue. The motor is a Left Hand (LH) rotation motor which is RH at the front. When timing advances the advance goes more clockwise (RH) which starts the firing of the plugs sooner. Looking at a timing light it goes more to the right

    2 bbl Mercarb accelerator pump

    I would take it apart and clean it. Putting the cleaner in it may help, and may even fix for now. In most cases it just postpones the issue. It could be the check valve in the bottom which is hanging and not allowing enough fuel to be drawn in. This is a Rochester but the workings are the...

    Another question on 2003 5.0 gxi remote oil filter and oil bypass valve

    All depends if your using a filter with ah anti drain back valve (check valve). The best case is to make sure and not hook it up backwards.

    72 Thunderbird Formula w/twin 165hp Mercs

    The needle seat leak isn't bad and may fix it self over time, but right now should do no harm. Do need to get the oil pressure switch fixed next year. Don't remember if you have handle controls or panel. This is panel but handle works the same way. When power is applied to the Blue wire the...
