    Upgrading 65A Alternator to a 130A

    While I do see a difference I don't see how it can be a catastrophic failure. Goes from the ALT output to the circuit breaker, then a direct connection to the starter. So the issue is the same and there is not a 90amp fuse, and it does connect to "one" side of the assist solenoid, it does go...

    Upgrading 65A Alternator to a 130A

    Your purple wire goes is your exciter for the field winding of the ALT. All of the purple wires on your motor go hot when the key is turned to on. The ALT output goes directly back to the battery via the starter connection. Here is how Merc does it and VP does it the same way. Look for the...

    Rule float switch hanging

    My new rule float switch is hanging. Boat had a gas leak on my cool fuel module from a line not put on correctly. After cleaning up the gas an fixing the leak, the float will not move real easy. I would just replace it again but its under the engine and getting to it will be a bi**h. I can...

    454/502 knock sensor

    Need to buy another knock sensor. Listing shows 805544T as being superseded by 8M0077616. The issue is the older part is much easier to find and cost a bit less, so guess the question; Is the new one better then the older model?

    1970 something Chrysler 105

    Started looking at the Chrysler 105 Conquer boat I pickup for $150 this spring. One of the reasons the guy was selling it cheap is the bottom two cylinders are cracked on the 105. So will need another block or part it out and put something else on it. Looked for the serial number plate inside...

    Flooding Rochester 4ME

    Don't think the tip is missing, my thought is it was made that way, and it should shut the fuel off, so long as the seat has a larger hole then the needle. Recheck your float setting, it is adjusted by bending the tang

    Mercruiser 4.3 262 Magnum EFI Gen + Won't Start

    Fuel line 16 is the main line feeding the throttle body, so I agree how could you get 38 psi at the TB and have no fuel in the line. Check the fuses for the injectors, there are two

    Does anyone make this part for a 72 Merc I/O anymore?

    Your not going to find that switch, and if you do it probably doesn't work. The switch is normally closed, so if yours are still there you might be able to rig something up, but other then that I would just forget it. Your setup being that old you could also upgrade (big bucks), but I know...

    Merc Alpha Gen II Missing a bolt

    The one I found for a Gen 2 is a 7/6 - 14 x 1 3/4 long. It does show a hex head but my guess is a smaller head size to fit in the hole. Using an Allen head would be better it most cases. Here is the part number

    HELP! What is this? Merc 4.3 (see pics)

    I would say yours is like the one on the bottom left and you have the Delco alternator. Note the way the belt runs

    496HO Captains call not fully going silent

    If your hearing no noticeable difference between either side then the diverters are working equally. There is an adjustment that can be made but is done with the diverters removed. With engine running and the diverters on, grab them and see it you can move them any by hand

    IMO you should use the 27-41812 gasket to seal off the passage. Your cooling system needs to keep that sealed off to keep your block full. Your system is the one on the left pic below. Now if you want to upgrade and go for newer style we could work on that
