Re: Merc 3.0 Idle Issues

Figured it out.

There were 4 ignition wires attached to the ignition post of the tach (Purple wires). 2 of them connected to 2 other gauges, and 2 of them came from the wire harness. I attached the 2 gauge wires and 1 from the harness then put a nut on, then put the last one from the harness on top of the nut this way it wasn't touching the others but was attached to the ignition post. Turned the key, no more blown fuse, turned her over and she fired up.

- Tach is working perfect
- Was able to set the idle down to 700 on the muffs
- Seems to be running quite well

Appreciate all the help!
