    OMC 4.3

    Finally got it running. Adjusted the muffs to get better water flow and it seems to be circulating water although its a dirty brown color. Temp got to 160 degrees and is holding. Also there's a clinking sound when gears are shifted. Now I have to get the gauges working Thanks to all who helped...

    OMC 4.3

    Thanks Lou So far so good. Checked and cleaned all wires. The ignition itself was loose so when I inserted the key it was at 3 o'clock. I tightened down the ignition switch for the key to be at 12 o'clock turned it to start and bang it started. No idea why. Checked the outdrive and water was...

    Johnson 88 SPL

    Thanks for the reply. The compression values are 110 105 100 and 105. I had it out last week and its was fine. As you can tell I'm a novice at this and have no idea what wire core wires even are. If I had the manual I would of course change the impeller.
