Thanks, but I tried it in both positions and it wouldn't take the fogging fluid. My original Schrader valve worked fine (until it cracked), and I tried multiple OMC injection hoses on the can. Possibly, the valve stem needs adjusted outward to actuate the valve stem? I didn't have time to...
Is there a BRP part number for a replacement Schrader service valve lever? The valve in the Sierra Service Valve Kit p/n 18-7044 will not accept fogging fluid in the running or manual position.
The electric primer works fine for engine starting, but will not accept fogging fluid. Is the problem...
Try the www.everythingoutboards.com site. You can search on required OEM tools by year and horsepower. Once you have the part number and you are convinced you need the tool, a google or eBay search will give you used and new purchase options.
It is important to note that many of the tools can...
I discovered this in my OEM service manual and now understand the test is a little more involved than simply pulling a vacuum with my MityVac. Thanks for pointing this out.
Can the pulse limiter be permanently damaged by a high pressure / airflow event like a lean sneeze or backfire? Or, does it recover from the event and keep working?
Yes, I was thinking of skipping pulse limiter replacement with this new one, but with your information I'll replace the old one with the new one enclosed in the VRO fuel pump kit.
If I can easily hook up my MityVac downstream of the primer bulb, I will see what vacuum pressure is required to pull the fuel. I will mention that my fuel restriction alarm does function because I can kink the fuel line hose going into the engine and the alarm horn will sound continuously...
After rebuilding my own engine with the help of the experts on this site, I would never purchase anything but OEM. The above mentioned VRO replacements were complete units (not rebuilds). I do plan on troubleshooting the current bad unit (off the engine) and using a rebuild kit from Mastertech...
I don't have an anti-siphon valve on the fuel tank (63 gallon) or a filter screen/sock on the pick-up. I have always had a Racor fuel and water separator (S3227, 10 micron) in line and I replaced all the fuel lines in 2006 ish. I did add a fuel flow meter in early 2020. Is there a vacuum test...
The VRO pump, on my 1986 Johnson 150 (J150TXCDC), failed after only three summers (15 months) of use. While trolling, the engine stalled and I had to use the primer bulb to fill the float bowls. The engine would not continue running unless I actuated the primer bulb. Experiencing this years ago...
After investing a lot of sweat equity in the mechanical side of a rebuild, is there anything I should be replacing on the electrical side (or other) given the components are 37 years old? Plug wires, stator, power pack, or coils?
I used the WSM pistons and rebuild kit I purchased from Jason's Block Shop. I broke it in using dino oil OMC XD25 and then transitioned to XD100. I understand the XD100 contains OMC Carbon Guard. I decarb with OMC Engine Tuner once a season and run Mercury Quickleen the first 60 gallon tank of...
