Thanks 🙏 Yes , was thinking of wrapping some heat shrink over the wire once done.
Good point re. smaller tank and the lesser resistance..hm . Until yesterday I actually had just a regular brass fitting (without a checkvalve/ ball inside) attached to the pick up tube🙀 Still pump failed to...
Yes I think I’ll run a temporary wire in parallel with the tan/blue - tapping into it with these .. Biltema’s finest ✌️ from dash down to just before 9 pin connector boatside and then engine side - should tell me if its the wire or connector .. Theen I’ll hook up an external tank with some...
I did already - buzzer seems to have been replaced at some point as both purple and tan/ blue wires were crimped to their corresponding leads- acc. to schematics there’s supposed to be a bullet connector on tan/blue wire.
Did some wiggling of the old crimps but no obvious sign of poor...
Interesting! I was down to the boat this afternoon hunting my buzzer issue (tan/blue wire) been thinking it was my oilpressure switch behind gunked up despite the fact it was replaced only last season.. However when I’m shorting the two leads from gear lube monitor to trigger the alarm…nada...
Bulb will be removed !
anti siphon valve already replaced..!
So an airleak would be a possible cause of the fuel issue then despite no sign of leaking gas
Pick up tube not yet replaced
Not sure if the trigger is the 2-Wire type but
Why would it fail only at low rpm’s ?
if purple wire drops...
plugs , Cap & rotor replaced end of season 24, plugwires + coil replaced last season
Carb rebuilt end of last season, but of course if there’s some debris in the fuel system the fine passages in the carb might be clogged on the very first run back home from the shop..
Totally agree re troubleshooting rather than fireing any cannon!
Ok so not the pump then most likely, Though it seemed as prime suspect as I ’ve had problems with engine not fireing up - solved by putting the primer bulb in the loop and manually pumping gas.
If there were some airleak due...
No idea of hours I’m third owner- (for sure the one adding the least hours to it)
looking back on my previous posts I realize I’ve done nothing but chasing various issues last few seasons
I did a compression test last year which to my knowledge showed the engine to be in ok condition 175...
forgot to mention,, when staring engine today I had blue smoke with the exhaust.. related to the suspected valveissue or yet another separate problem !?
So today I took belt off , however noise is still there. Did tighten the portside exhaust bolts a bit..( I’m getting concerned about the seemingly slopply job the shop did.). no change to the noise though
so now I need to look into the Valvetrain
