I have an old 1985 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy that I have done a lot of work on this year. Pretty much have completed bringing her back to her glory however I have noticed for the past several seasons that my Faria tach ( original) jumps randomly all over the place then at times settles but you never...

I have rebuilt the carb on a 1992 Mercruiser 3.0 and it is really running well at cruise speed 22-25 mph and I rarely go higher than that but in the past I used to get at full throttle about 35mph. I can now only get to 27 mph at WOT. I have installed a new fuel pump as well. I obviously am...

Got it ...thanks so much

Sky...we are in the same part of the world...I am out of the Gunpowder....I fish around the narrows frequently. anyway my next question is: in addition to installing the inline fuel filter should I do something with the fuel tank or will the 3 filters ( inline, fuel pump, and carb inlet) take...

Ok sounds like good advice.... The only rubber fuel line I have is a short one that is about a foot and a half to 2 ft long from the gas tank to the fuel pump. After the fuel pump the line to the carburetor is steel or iron I'm not sure which. Should I put the filter in the line between the fuel...

I have a 1985 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy with a 26 gallon fuel tank. Apparently, dummy me forgot to put stabil in the tank last winter and I have crud gumming up the fine filter at the inlet to the carb if I run it for only a short while.... like 6 - 10 miles. I have done a lot of work this summer on...

Wow....prayer coming your way.....I live near Honeygo and my daughter had a pretty serious accident at Honeygo and 43 a few years back....same thing... guy blew thru a red light because he was distracted. Dangerous area. Our thoughts are with you and your wife.

So I am pretty sure I am getting good flow from the fuel pump so I have been told it will probably require a carb rebuild. I that something that is difficult to do or is it one of those things that if you take lots of pictures and take your time you can pull it off. I'm wondering if when you get...

are carb rebuilds difficult for the average bear and do they include step by step instructions?

So I wouldn't have symptoms of cruising and all of a sudden losing power and even conking out or having a difficult time accelerating?

What sort of symptoms would I experience if I had a bad or failing coil pack? Its a 1992 mercruiser 3.0 alpha one.

Great idea....just hope I can find a plumbing piece thats about the same size.

Wow...thats great...I am actually around the corner from you....I am in Harewood Park just up the street in Chase. I come out of the Gunpowder. Hate to sound stupid but how do you Pm on here?

Need a gas cap for a 1985 Sea Ray Seville cuddy cabin. If no one has one to sell are there any aftermarket ones that would fit? Thanks for any help Don

Somehow I lost my gas cap. Is there an aftermarket for these for a Sea Ray this old? If so where would I find it? Thanks for any help you can provide. Don
