I went out the day after, and it all seemed normal again, no dying engine. It was though a very hot day when it happened, so maybe that could be the cause. It's hard to reproduce because I was moving with 6 knot about at least an hour both times before it happened and the temperature has gone...
Twice today, with about 4 hours in between, I was cruising at 6 knots when the engine suddenly lost power. It started running really rough and then died completely, with a small puff from the carburetor. Luckily, it restarted without much hassle and I was able to continue sailing each time. This...
What's going on here? There's no problem in starting the engine (after a couples of priming), but it keeps dying soon after as heard in video 1.
I can keep the engine running if I keep it above 1500 rpm.
Video 2 shows how revs is going up and down by it self, before it dies (when the engine is...
First my engine is a Mercruiser 5.0L carbed from 2001. SN 0M359543
The engine alarm came on/off starting from around cruising speed (3000 rpm). I then changed the water temp sensor (the one with yellow wire), and it seem to be working for a couple of days. The alarm only sounded when I started...
Has anyone tried or know about the "KUS Analogue NMEA2000 Converter NKC42"?
I would like to get my analogue oil pressure and water temp gauges connected to my nmea2000 network. I have a carbed 2001 Mercruiser 5.0L Thunderbolt V engine in a Rinker 232cc. It seems that it should be able to connect...
Yesterday after 2 hours run with cruising speed, we stopped, with engine off, for about half an hour, just outside out harbor. The last run into harbor i gave it full throttle and trimmed the drive. Just when I pushed the trim button all electricity disappeared for a short moment (my...
I have a Mercruiser 5.0L carbed engine from 2002 where the alarm buzzer suddenly has stopped working. When I put ignition on it wont go on as it used to. But when the engine is running and I ground the drive tube it goes on, and also when i ground the oil level sensor. So it seems that it's just...
I was about to change my spark plug on my mercruiser 5.0L (2002) so I bought the recommended ngk’s but as seen on the picture there’s a visual gap difference. Should I go with the new ones as is or re gap them as the old ones? (By the way does the old ones look ok). Thanks
During the summer i had to refill a little gear oil at my alpha one drive twice, so now it was time to check for leaks. As you can see at the picture i have a leak at the lower shift shaft. The manual say to split upper and lower unit and remove the 2 screws holding the shift shaft assembly and...
Sorry about the font. It was copy/paste from another program. When I tried to post it, it timed out, or at least I thought so, so I didn't see the result online.
Could you please point out which numbers I should tamper with at the picture. Thanks.
