    Noise from front of engine

    1994 Merc 5.7. There is a clacking noise that comes from the front of the engine at high rpms. Mainly when you gun it out of the hole and if you're running above 3800 rpm. Cruising at 3200 or so there is no noise. Seems to not happen as much after you've run for awhile. This is not constant...

    Mercruiser 5.7 stalling

    Trying to dial in my 1994 5.7. Starts easy, idles smooth. Just set the timing. Rev response is very good. However, when I rev it up and let it come back down, it dies. Starts right back up no problem. I have rebuilt the carb. Took it apart and let it soak like I should. But maybe I missed...

    Mercarb gasket question

    Rebuilt mecarb for my 1994 5.7. Putting it back on and had a question about gaskets. I didn't pay attention to the base gasket when I pulled it, and my kit came with two. One has 2 circle openings and one is just a big oval. Bolt patterns are the same. The oval is a good bit thicker as well...

    Gimble question

    This seems like a dumb question. I have a 1994 Monterey 206. I changed out the gimble bearing. It was the first time I've ever done this. I thought it was seated. It's straight. There is about a 1/4 " behind it between the bearing and the seal. I want to know is this right or does it need to go...
