    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    Also I have already turned the motor over by hand, turns over fine, even removed spark plugs just to make sure, the engine isn't locked.

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    Hi there, I'm working on a mercruiser 7.4 engine and just installed a new starter, I've never had the boat running yet and when I tried cranking it seems the motor tried to start briefly then a grinding sound. I took the starter off and marked the gear with a marker, re-installed and tried to...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    Yup you were right, I pushed a screwdriver in there and was able to go to neutral, I tried revving it up to 1200 rpms and it still died when I put the jumper pin in, do you think it's ok to go up to 1800 rpms on muffs and then try it?

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    I tried every which way and can't find the neutral switch, I attached some pics, there are also 2 buttons under the handle that I can't figure out what they do either

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    So that was the other odd thing about this boat, it's a 1997 Chris Craft 25 Concept w/ DPS drive and as far as I can tell, there's no way to rev the boat in neutral? And I also read conflicting information about the RPMs, it seems with Mercs you're supposed to rev to 1800 RPMs before putting it...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    Hi there, I have a new to me 1997 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi i've been working on, finally got everything put together and the engine runs smooth, I'm trying to check the timing and for this TBI engine I believe you just jump the black + black/white wires at the 10-pin diagnostic port at the front, but...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi No Spark

    Sorry, late reply but figured I'd still post the solution, it ended up being the safety kill switch, it had worn out and wouldn't make a good connection unless it was FULLY pressed down, even being pressed down by the clip it was making a real rough connection.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi No Spark

    Hi there, I'm working on a volvo penta 5.7 GSi that I bought that had water mixing with the oil, I disassembled the motor down to the block and concluded the leak was from a blown intake manifold gasket, no visible cracks in the block or head, anyway, put everything back together and I'm not...

    Help with Mercury Sport Jet 175 Oil Hose Routing

    Hey all, i'm working on a Mercury Sport Jet 175 that I just got in non-running condition, seems the previous owner took the starter out and just never replaced it, and as usual some other random stuff not where it's supposed to be. I got most of it put back together with parts diagrams but can't...

    Evinrude 88 SPL won't crank with key pushed in for primer

    I'm having an issue with my Evinrude 88 SPL where it will crank fine when I just turn the key, but if I press the key in to engage the primer solenoid, it won't crank. I do hear the primer solenoid clicking open when I push the key in. I'm thinking I have a faulty key switch but wanted to get...

    Evinrude 88 SPL Primer Solenoid Question

    Hey all, I have an Evinrude 88 SPL and I'm curious if my electronic primer solenoid is working correctly, when I press the key I can hear the solenoid click, but then if I try to turn the key while pressed in, it does nothing, turning the key without pressing in will crank the engine just fine...

    Evinrude 88 SPL no spark

    Hey all, I'm working on my friend's Sunbird 170ss with an Evinrude 88 SPL outboard. The boat was working fine and then one day he tried to start it and it just wouldn't start. I did some quick diagnostics and found no spark on all cylinders, to narrow the issue down, I un-plugged the big red...

    Ignition fuse keeps blowing instantly on Bayliner w/ Mercruiser 5.7

    Hey all, I just did the engine coupler on my Bayliner 2050 w/ Mercruiser 5.7 and Alpha One, I didn't remove the engine, I just disconnected it and supported it while moving it 6 inches forward to get to the coupler. In the process I'm pretty sure I only removed the 3 ground wires that attached...

    Hey all, I'm working on replacing the engine coupler on my Mercruiser 5.7 and had to disconnect some kind of water transfer tube attached to the bellhousing on the back with an oil line going to it. Wondering part of the oil system goes into it so I can be sure to refill as quite a bit came...

    Mercruiser 5.7 Stuck Spark Plug

    Hi there all, I have a Mercruiser 5.7 and what I thought would be an easy spark plug replacement has turned into an absolute nightmare. I'm an experienced auto mechanic but don't have quite as much experience in marine engines. I went into the job thinking it would be the same as replacing the...

    Inverter Keeps Resetting Due to Voltage Drop

    Hi all, I'm currently restoring a 1986 Bayliner Contessa 2850 and I'm currently trying to hookup a new mini fridge to replace the old one. I chose not to buy an expensive marine fridge with both AC/DC and instead just got a cheap $80 AC fridge. So I figure hookup the DC lines to a 700 watt...
