Does anyone know where i can find the "muffler" that is supposed to be in the spark arrestor? I have removed the arrestor and found nothing but a wire mesh screen. i am to believe that there should be something more than just a round screen.

does anyone have the part number for the rebuild kit? 2005, 6.2 mpi mercruiser

going this weekend to replace plugs, cap and rotor. have a tech that will be going this week to get codes to what sensor is making the engine go into limp mode. I have the smart system, but i cant read the digital readout. ordering a new gauge for that.

Sorry, have been gone. the beeps are not in time sync. but they come on when i am underway.

i have a single beep that comes on randomly when it does this.

What in the world would cause the engine to run up to 4000rpms, 33mph and run just fine one day, then the following day wont go above 3000rpms and 11mph? Cant even get it on plane. trim tabs are up, no drag. trim outdrive to standard position but nothing. im changing plugs, fuel filter, rotor...

Thank you a bunch.

BCG i believe. it cools by a waterpump taking fresh water from under the boat.

mine is gas driven. preheat would normally be on a diesel i believe, but no, i know i dont have a preheat. followed instructions up top and attempted to start from there. ill just have to wait until i get back to the boat to check below for some type of breaker or such.

have you had any problems with this unit or can you give me a little insight to what to look out for? it worked on the seatest before i bought the boat, but attempted to start it last weekend and it would not start. just turned over. havent been back down in the bilge to look at the unit yet. is...

does anyone have experience with a Westerbeke 3.0kw generator? that is in my oddball 260 also.

OK, its official. my 260 has the exact freshwater tank assembly as that of a 270aj. triangular under where table stows.

Everything else on the boat is exactly like the manual layout

Would be so much easier in the rear bilge
