    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    I ended up using my horn to probe the fuse panel and found some spots would provide enough current and others not, so I pulled the panel and used contact cleaner on it with fuses removed(reinserting fuses to help scrape) then reinstalled with all new fuses and so far everything seems to be...

    I'll see if I can post a video of it running in the water tank. I ran it so long that it heated up the tank, I calculated that there were about 140 gallons in the tank.

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    I am having electrical issues with the horn and engine blower fan. They both get power but not enough to make them operate. I'm guessing I have a bad connection suppling power to them. I have had no luck finding a schematic for the boat. I sent a message to Stingray and have not heard back from...

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    Hello folks, I am back on my boat project after a long hiatus. I made a water tank from plywood and 2/4's, lined it with a tarp that was cut out around the outdrive and taped to the hull. I have the water up to almost the waterline on the hull. She runs and pumps water like she should.

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    The earmuffs appear to be not working as I expected. I fired her up at an idle and I see no temp increase in 5 minutes of running. There is a lot of water coming out alongside the muffs but nowhere else. I have the hose on full blast. When I had it in the big bucket it drew water and ran at 180...

    Yeah, you guys are right and I see the light so I will switch back to the earmuffs, thanks for setting me straight on the. Tom

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    Ok, I replaced the impeller a few years ago and do not remember where it was located, but I do remember it being a pain in the butt to reinstall that lower unit!

    Outdrive in a bucket sucking water like a river/lake seems more logical to me than force feeding it with the muffs. You just have to keep the bucket full with a feeder hose. Once mine burped the air out of it it ran fine at 180 degrees and I am pretty confident it will work fine on the water...

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    Yeah, I cleaned up the aluminum getting all the rubber off and it is nice and smooth. I oiled the filter before reinstalling it. I received my new fuel pump Wednesday and got it all plumbed in, no leaks, and it works! And the boat now runs, Yea! I had a problem with the voltage coming to the...

    Yeah, I thought about that ;)

    It looks like my fuel pump is bad. I can suck gas from the tank (yuck, Exxon!) and I can blow through the fuel filter but the pump can't seem to pump it so I ordered a new one. Then I thought I should replace the fuel filter for good measure. I could not unscrew it while installed so I removed...

    The boat was stored with minimal fuel, maybe 2 gallons with Stabil in it. I plan on adding 5 gallons fresh fuel when I get it to turn over.

    I just jumpered across the top 2 slave solenoid terminals and the starter kicked so the problem lies with the solenoid or the 2 wires feeding it. I do not hear the solenoid click when I go to the Start position. I will dig into it further tomorrow morning.

    Those are really helpful wiring diagrams!

    You are correct! I just pulled the air cleaner cover off and found the solenoid back at the rear of the motor. Thanks for the lead! Tom

    And yes, it is a carb motor.

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    Thank you all for your tips, that is a cool wiring diagram. I don't know if i have a slave solenoid? I did see that the yellow/red wire was coming off the fuse block, and one side of the fuse was partly melted meaning most likely a poor connection at that side of the fuse. The fuse was not...

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    Hello, I am a new here. I just got my 1995 Stingray 606ZP out of 4-year storage and she does not want to start. It has a new battery, I suspected the starter solenoid so I pulled the starter out and it bench tested fine. The starter signal appears to be the culprit, it is a yellow/red wire. If I...
