    VP 5.7 Gxi hits rev limiter @ 4300

    Yea seems like it's hitting a rev limiter for sure, the tachometer seems to be the likely culprit . I will have to verify with an rpm reader or look into the vp adapter when I get the chance thanks for the info.

    VP 5.7 Gxi hits rev limiter @ 4300

    There was no alarms it revs to approx 4200 in netural then hits a rev limiter and the same under load in gear , your right that it could be many things , I tested the fuel pump pressure and it was holding at 50 psi at high rpm . I need to get a rpm tester to see if the gauge is off , If it's...

    Adding a water pressure gauge to 1987 70ETLH

    Hi , I am wanting to add a water pressure gauge to the ol yammi- haa , I was debating between water pressure and a temp gauge and realized that the temp gauge will tell you there is a problem but maybe too late ( there is also a built in temp alarm if it still works) . A water pressure gauge...

    HI my buddy has a VP 5.7 Gxi in a 24 ft Grady white offshore 24 dual SS prop (not sure of pitch yet as she's in the water ). We noticed it wont hit the rated rpm of 5000-5200 when cruising and when revving the motor in neutral she seems to be bouncing on a rev limiter at 4200-4300 rpm (if the...
