99' 4.3L Mercruiser

Serial # L349149. I went to the manuals you have for downloading, and selected #25.

The problem is, I can download the first 3 sections, but nothing further. Am I missing a proceedure in this downloading, or is that all that's available?

What I've downloaded has been a big help, but I'd like the other sections, if possible.

Thanks,
Bobg

Thanks for the reply, Bondo.

I tried clicking on specific sections and got an "Error this information cannot be found" msg.

What I was looking for, was the carb rebuild proceedure, and reinstalling a distributor when the engine's been disturbed after removal.

I've since cleaned and rebuilt the carb, and I believe I can reinstall the distributor by using the timing pointer.

My problems started when a lifter came apart on #4 cylinder, bending the push rod, dropping the exhaust valve, and the piston coming up and bending the valve stem, causing a minor nick in the piston. Maybe it started before that, when water got into the exhaust manifold..

Everything's been cleaned up, head's been redone, and complete exhaust system for the starboard side, is almost here.

This is a friend's boat. I tried to leave town before he asked me to fix it.

Any suggestions on what to do to flush this engine out? I've got some thoughts on it, but I'm all ears for any other input.
