    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    Yes use a short piece of wire to replace the diode. Doing this will send 12V to TKS when key is on. With power applied the hissing should stop and if it does then we will know it's ok The fuse is remove to find out if the diode path works or not. If it does work then the temp switch is not...

    Careful what ya wish for…

    Welcome All restores need to be "I love this boat", otherwise your going to hate it and should not go through with it It's going to cost a bunch of money because you have to gut everything and start over. You will find fiberglass in spots you didn't think you had, and that's the good part o_O...

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    You can test the theory without replacing the thermostat or diode Remove the 20 amp fuse Install a jumper where the diode use to be Fire the motor up and see if the hissing stops after running for a while

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    I'm not trying to be mean or condescending but I/We need to get your attention so Knock, Knock hello.... please read what is being said, not what you think is being said With the diode being open this changes things to what was said at first, now it's what was said in other post including last...

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    The TKS module is "not" fully extending, and this is why your hearing the hiss and most likely why it's hard to restart If the diode is shorted as you say then the temp switch on the intake will not keep the TKS from fully extending. ONLY if the diode is open showing very high resistance in...

    oil leak bravo 3 sterndrive

    Welcome In the upper left corner of your second pic is where the quick connect lube bottle connects lube bottle to drive If it was leaking there before the drive was separated then most likely needs new O-rings. If it leaked after the drive was separated then that's ok

    Volvo Penta 3.0 Beeping and Ggoing Into Limp Mode

    The issue is I don't have the manual for your motor so not able to say where the wires go. Using your serial number I looked up the manuals on line. The site list one for Catalyst exhaust, EGC Diagnostics and Mechanical. If it was me I would get the EGC Diagnostics manual which list at $59...

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    No, the diode is not in the circuit with the 20 amp fuse. There is interactions on what can happen if it shorts or opens, but don't want to get into teaching electronics 101 course here The diode is not part of the current problem of running rich or taking to long to fully open. The switch is...

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    When motor first starts cold power goes from the key, thru the diode and to TKS Temp switch is open because motor is cold. When motor warms up Temp switches closes providing another path the feed power to TKS When motor is shut off warm the Temp switch keeps power going to TKS to keep plunger...

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    The diode burned out because the temp switch is shorting to ground or the module is drawing to much current. The diode does not need to be replaced with a OEM type. You can go to local electronics store or get a 5 watt diode on line. A 5 watt diode is larger then the OEM but it can handle more...

    TKS Ignition system hissing/sucking - not working properly

    Welcome Most likely the TKS module is drawing to much current You have a newer TKS so it could be the fuse was changed from 20 to 15 amp, but could also be it was changed by previous owner because they didn't have a 20 In any case sounds like the module is not working correctly, it should...

    Winterize My 2009 Tahoe Q5i 4.3 V6

    Depends what cooling system you have and if it's 7 point, 3 point or single point drain. In any case drain all the water from the block, exhaust, fuel cooler, raw water pump if Bravo drive and front large hose. Once that's done your winterized. You can now pump AF with muffs if you wish or pour...

    Volvo Penta 3.0 Beeping and Ggoing Into Limp Mode

    Manuals can be obtained from a VP dealer The ECM is quite expensive and really need to make sure it's what is causing the issue. I'm guessing but sounds like your between a rock and hard spot because there are no VP dealers near you. It's easy enough to replace the ECM part number is 21367572...

    2002 Four Winns 240 instrument problems

    The sender is on the drive, and most likely same as Merc needs replaced The depth sounders seem to always change and next to none of them work with other manufactures, then you have the issue that replacements are no longer made. In most cases just need to get another

    Does the antifreeze you use really matter?

    Your motor is safe because you drained everything, but running 4-5 gallons thru engine pump does not displace ALL the water
