    Tach Issue

    That's a great diagram. Thanks. It appears like I'm going to have some difficulty running a continuity test on the signal wire in this case. My tach is just the standard with digital hour meter. I just got a replacement, but hoping it still is a lose wire or something. It's interesting because...

    Tach Issue

    Morning. In most setups, would that Grey run right to the tach then? I believe it is a part of a wiring harness that plugs into the ignition coil. For example, if this picture is the coil, where is the grey wire connect to for me to test it specifically?

    Tach Issue

    Hello, all. Engine is 2008 Volvo Penta 5.7gi-300-J with Faria guage. Anyone know if tach recieves signal from ECM or is it from ignition coil? From what I've read signal originates from negative post on ignition coil, but does it then get picked up by ECM and transmitted to tach? If there is...

    Upside down thermostat

    Yeah, I see that now - but it was installed incorrectly before and I never had an overheating issue. I was just trying to wrap my head around why not.

    Upside down thermostat

    I see that now, but it was installed incorrectly before, so I was wondering why I never had overheating.. it's just very odd.

    Upside down thermostat

    I posted a diagram of the opposite of how it was installed. Rinda Diacom is the diagnostic set.

    Upside down thermostat

    I'll clarify that it was opposite of this diagram. Spring down towards the housing is what I meant.

    Upside down thermostat

    Engine is a 2008 300-gi-j. As a preventative measure this year I thought I would change out the thermostats as to the best of my knowledge they've never been done. So I took it apart and then reinstalled thermostats the same way that I took them out at. Then started looking at a diagram and...

    Chain worth it?

    Yeah I agree. I felt like it wasn't enough as well.

    No, direct West of there! Been over that way though a few summers ago. Need to go back!

    Chain worth it?

    I like this line of thinking. For the price of the new chain, I could probably get a 35LB Delta as well. Thanks for the insight.

    Chain worth it?

    Yeah, I was thinking more for anchor security with the extra chain weight. An alternative could be just a bigger anchor as well .

    Thought about that, but I could do a bridal.

    Freshwater locations, with mostly sand bottoms. Georgian Bay if you know where that is.

    Chain worth it?

    Good day, all, Currently running a 10kg Delta anchor with 10ft if 1/4 chain and 150ft of nylon rope. I have a 35 cabin cruiser that weighs about 12k. I am wanting to run all chain, but my windlass will only run a max of 1/4 chain. Think it's worth buying the chain, even though it is only 1/4...

    Sparkplug - carbon buildup - causes?

    Hmm that sensor is right beside the thermostat housing isn't it? Fuel pressure has not been recently checked. I will though. I've been tossing a Rinda. Cant decide between the techmate or diacom though... If I could run the diacom on an iPad, that would be ideal. Cant though.

    Sparkplug - carbon buildup - causes?

    Hi all, Changed out plugs on both motors (2008 VP 5.7 gi-j). Port appears to have a lot of carbon build up, starboard appears to be okay (picture also attached for reference). Probably about 100 hours on the plugs if I were to take a guess. All appear to have about the same amount of build...
