    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    I bought oem reman injectors. I'll send mine out to get cleaned and flow tested. I would up seeing rust in the regulator housing so I'm not sure how bad everything is. I blew it out as beat I could but the lines are NLA and unless I'm taking one from a junkyard, spending 500 on a used set...

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    Injectors all ohm'd between 12.3 and 12.5 Power and pulse to all wire. Pulled the rail and got 1 bank off so far. Injectors are all heavily clogged. Rail doesn't have any pieces in it. Do I need to worry about the new injectors clogging or do you think the rust was a combo from sitting for so...

    bravo 3 lower shift cable adjustment

    Hey all, Just replaced the lower shift cable on my bravo 3. I have the adjustment tool and was reading up. I just had a few questions to clarify. I get the 3" stud placement then shifting foward qnd adjusting stud align it properly with the rear slot. My only real question is the threaded...

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    Called around some performance shops and the closest is about an hour and a half, 22 per injector (includes new screens and o-rings) and is on a 7-10 day turn around. Might go with that reman oem ebay set for 150 more and have them in 3 days. Seller has perfect reviews.

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    Try to do a play by play update. Pulled all plugs and checked spark at the plug. All looked good. Looks like #5 and #6 have no combusion.

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    Not sure if you would know a crossover but the mercury part number doesn't coincide with any gm numbers. If I look up a generic 1999 3500 gm 454 I can find injectors, I just don't know if they are interchangeable. 802632t is mercruiser. 19244615 looks to be the late 90s 7.4 in a Chevy...

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    Boat has definitely seen time in saltwater. Engine bay looks pretty good but there are signs of corrosion back side of the block, as well as the anodes being corroded on the outdrive. As far as how long and to what extent....I have no idea. Since I need to pull the plenum off, I might buy...

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    Bravo 3 rpm measured with a techmate. Timing set with techmate pro...wires are double checked, in correct order. Fuel filter changed last summer, has about 15 hours on it. Checked the prop..has the factory pitch/part number as what it came with from the factory.

    won't rev over 3600 (fuel injector issue?) 7.4l

    So here's the deal. I bought a project 1999 searay 230br. Mercruiser 7.4L L29 engine. Got it running decent after a bit of back and forth. I still have an issue with it not revving over 3600 rpm under load. I replaced cap/rotor/coil/plugs and wires last season. Set base timing with a techmate...

    bravo 3 looks ok?

    New gimbal is in, I got an alignment tool. The old gimbal I tried before I removed and it basically slid in and I could turn the rod with 2 fingers basically. The new one slides in by hand but I need to basically give it a little push to get in in the splines, then it's tighter (to the point I...

    bravo 3 looks ok?

    Little update. Gimbal bearing and seal are out. Looks like it was already a sealed bearing replaced at some point. New one this week Splines look good. Any red flags yall can see? Finally, last picture, that bell crank was pitted more than I thought. Seems like cast/pot metal. Should that get...

    bravo 3 looks ok?

    Sorry...the gimbal bearing seal behind the bearing. I've only had it in freshwater but he said he has had it in saltwater for a couple seasons. Only 509 hours on the boat total. I think the water intrusion was the shift cable seal. It practically disintegrated on removal. The drive bellow...

    bravo 3 looks ok?

    You've been a wealth of info! Some more questions: 1.) How do I get that detent out? Seems press fitted in? 2.) My zerk fitting in seized in. I tried chiseling it out but it won't release, and I can't get in between the hull to drill. However, new gimbal bearings are sealed(?), so I should...

    bravo 3 looks ok?

    I'm talking the drive side vs the cover plate side. Replace the ball and spring on the cover side? The ball isn't pitted and it moves freely, just dirty, but there's still a lot of green grease on it. The drive side that has the metal piece the ball rides on for the gear selection (assuming to...
