Re: rev limiter?

I'm just guessing......but I would say that the rev. limiter is probably bad. Especially since everything works fine with it by-passed.

Foodfisher, Sea Ray used the Force motors badged as Mercury in their Sea Rayder jet boats. Mercury also used them in their Sport Jet line of boats. They had oil injection and rev. limiters. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw one.

Re: rev limiter?

I'm pretty sure you'd have to have some specialized equipment to test it. Something that would simulate the ignition trigger signal since that's what it senses.

You need a factory manual on the testing part? I was surprised when I found out too!
