Have someone watch the secondary butterfly linkage when you punch it. The linkage should not move until the engine starts to turn up. If it does move try to restrict it and see if does not bog or stumble.
There are many tiny ball bearings in the valve. They get lost easy so be careful. If you take it apart and replace the “O” rings do not be surprised if it still leaks. If you do R&R the valve make sure that the pump does NOT operate when the drive is shifted to reverse. Good luck.

Seperate the risers from the manifolds inspect the mating surfaces, they should be smooth with solid material where the water passages are divided from the exhaust gasses. With the riser inverted fill the water side with acetone and the manifold body as SD mentioned.
If you have a friend with a...
The only thing that might help is to put the measured amount oil in the engine and either let it set an hour or so with the dip stick out or warmup the engine with the dip stick out. The hole on the bottom of the tube fitting is small and with the dip stick in place does not let the oil in the...
If water gets in the bellows all the grease gets washed out. The bellows must always remain dry to protect the bearing.
The fact that the bearing was not seated will defenitely make noise as it causes the joints to be over loaded and putting too much linear pressure on the input shaft...
If your engine has a spin on style fuel filter it will be a good idea to get a replacement filter. Are the spark plugs new? A good time to do as Bondo said to check the compression. The Tygon hose has nothing to do with fuel pressure and as you mentioned it is there to save the boat from a...
The trim limit switch on your boat was designed to last about 13 months [ one month out of warranty] that is why you need to press both buttons to raise/trim your drive. The hydraulic trim sender is seperate from the reverse lock valve which is incorporated with the shift linkage. Try to post...
Look up a post from May 11 this year. The poster replaced his old style Prestolite pump with a newer style “Oildyne” style. I explained how to adapt the style with pipe fittings from the local hardware or auto store.
The only parts available for your pump are some of the electrical and none of...
If you listen close when raising the pump changes tunes just before full up, try stopping at that point or if it goes go full up try hitting the down switch, that may keep the pressure off just enough. Also keep in mind that if the drive is full up and is exposed to bright sun the pressure in...
Contact West Marine with part #18-2142. Hydraulic ram. They have a close out @$51.42. Normally these rams cost over $300.00.
The “O” ring repair kits are very hard to find as they are NLA.
This is a killer deal and If they have them you better jump on it now!
