    Recently I posted this thread about troubleshooting a sudden no spark on all cylinders that happened to my friends motor after being shut down normally on the water. After we solved that problem, we decided to check the timing as we replaced enough ignition components to warrant it in our...

    Ignition Coil Test Results

    Trying to help a friend diagnose a no spark on a 1997 Johnson 115 EUA. We have not built a DVA and are testing what we can without it first. The engine ran great for several outings and then would not restart when shut off. Went through all the basics on the water, wiring/connectors, main...

    I need someone with a 4.3GL or 4.3GS to check the wiring on their fuel pump. I'm replacing mine, and the PO apparently cobbled together what I have. See this thread. I have all the new connector parts and pump from Volvo, but nothing is marked to tell me the polarity. I need to know where...

    Can't Believe He Dropped Out of the Race!

    I talked to my BIL tonight and he backed out of a marathon because my sister registered to run in it. Granted she is an avid runner, but I guess they're more competitive than I thought. His excuse was to watch their kids, but deep down I think he was worried about getting smoked. Too funny...

    Tough day at one of our local lakes...
