    No spark, no service manual...

    I'm trying to help a friend that says he's not getting ignition spark on a 3.0 lx 0K029415. I can't remember where to find service manuals, but the schematic shows the purple wire at the coil, neutral switch, and alternator all tied together. The purple wire shows 1.1 volts, even when...

    A1g2 reseal question

    I noticed a little oil in my bellow last year and I'm trying to figure out how far I want to go with seal replacement. Do all of these seals typically fail at similar times? I'm kinda lazy and swore I was going to reseal the whole thing this winter, but the ice is disappearing and I just don't...

    Tube pressure? And need new tube too

    I ran an airhead mega ruckus under inflated twice before I realized it was underinflated. I kept reading 2 psig as the typical inflation pressure, so I aired up to 2 psig and of course it was firm. The fill valve was a little off center of the jacket so I deflated and got back up to 25-28...

    Thru-hull oil drain

    Cleaning IAC

    2007 5.0mpi SN 0W68iforgettherest 2 wire iac. Should the iac be spring loaded? I have seen pics of them with a spring, but mine doesn't have a spring, nor does it stay open or closed, just kinda stays put if I move the valve. Is this normal? Having issues dying when returning to idle.

    Single point drain winterization

    I have a 2006 5.0mpi and this is my first boat. I need to winterize it for a week or so, so I used the single point drain. When i checked the block drains, both hoses were 100% packed with dirt along with the block ports. What other drains are likely to be plugged? I was planning to have all...

    New boat owner with dumb questions

    I bought a 2007 tahoe 5.0 alpha 1 gen 2. I've been going over its issues and there were a few wires loose when I pulled the instrument panel. The blower didn't work and I found both blower wires off the switch along with the hot wire to the ignition. I can't get power from any ignition switch...
