Re: tilt trim spurting fluid ? Bleeding
As a followup to those it might help. It took me awhile to think how the system works, so this is what I did . I hooked up a clear hose to the trim fluid bottle so i could see the amount going into the system. Then i tilted the engine full up with the release valve OPEN. and locked the engine up. I connected the bottle with the clear hose to the reservoir and turned it upside down to gravity feed the reservoir. Then with my assistant HOLDING the electric UP button on the engine, the trim pump sucked in what i thought was an appropriate amount of fluid( it was LOW), from the the container with the clear hose attached. It took me 2 times doing this procd. When i thought the fluid level should be good i disconnected the the clear hose from the reservoir and quickly capped it closed to prevent trim fluid from escaping.All while the UP button was held!!!. Or else the fluid backs out of the reservoir. Close off the release valve on the left side of the engine. My tilt trim pump system cycles up and down without problem. That what i did and it worked without making a mess everywhere.
Hope this helps u.
