After all your phone calls, now you know the purpose of this forum. We are all DIYers. Ripcuda is correct on everything he said. I would add- if you don't have the service book, then get one. You are going to need it. Check the rubber bellows at the shift and steering links at the jet nozzle...

The dreaded throttle guardian. Do you have one? It is usually in the driver side storage box, next to the fuse block. About 1 inch x 2.5 x 4. Have you gotten a service book for this engine? No??? You are chasing your tail. Have you done the previously suggested tests? Here is another--...

Unlikely you have anything stuck in the impeller. Easy enough to check- crawl under with a flashlight and look up into the tunnel. Looking for stones, sticks or plastic bags. However- objects stuck in impeller tend 2 ways. One jams it solid. As if the engine is seized. The other way tends...

It is possible that your wire pin 2 is broken behind the pin. Believe it or not, these connectors are available from Amazon. Your ECM is a primitive computer. I am pretty sure it is all proprietary and no one has a diagram. However- it seems that Brucato has reverse-engineered it and they...

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

I ran into the same thing when I had my engine rebuilt in Homestead. Blame Mercury, not the builder. Mercury says all the gaskets are included, but adapter plate gasket was not included from Mercury. Looks like you have fiberglass reeds installed. Did you have any noticeable change in...

After you remove the old belt- It looks like you can work the new belt between the gears without unbolting anything. Make sure all the pulley are clean (no rust) and in proper alignment. Check for loose worn bearing, especially idler and alternator.

Ok not Amazon. ECU Harness Coupling Nut Replacement | Power Performance Or Amazon Amazon.com You would have to destroy the inner piece to have just the nut on this. I have been the zip tie route, too.

The first ground is on top of the ecm. There are more on the plate that holds ignition coils. I think there are more, but I haven’t found them either. Injector failure would not cause high pressure. Fuel makes a loop from vst pump. by the injectors, thru the regulator back to vst. The...

What engine are we working on? Start with checking all your ground wires. Clean and shiny. No green connections. There are at least four, including on the ecu itself. Have you opened the round connector in bracket? Delicate. How is the connection for the vst? With the high fuel pressure...

No need to cut anything. The plastic weather seals on the connectors has "fused" to one another. May have been 20+ years since they were apart. They just pull apart. The connectors- not the wires.

Throttle binding is anything that prevents free motion of the throttle. Another thing to check is the bleed system. That is the system of small black hoses that run around the forward half of the engine. These hoses route pooled fuel inside the engine to the fuel-air flow where it will be...

A 1995 boat???? Doesn't that have Rotax engine or 2 in it? If it does, the Rotax engines are horizontal shaft engines. The Mercury drive has a vertical shaft into a small gearbox. Not much hope of slamming the the 2 systems together. Options? short block.

You found the connectors in pic 4592. Those are in fact bullet connectors. They just pull apart. Don't pull on the wires. Pull the connectors. Any wire will work as a jumper. Even a bent up paper clip. As Poppie said- your oil tank looks empty. Time to open the cap for a look. While...
