    Ignition parts for 1990 Crusader 454

    Thanks for the advice on the timing! Here is what the disassembled distributor looks like. I think it needs to be replaced. Would anyone try to clean it up and put on a new pickup coil?

    Ignition parts for 1990 Crusader 454

    Hi all, I have a no start situation with my port engine. It cranks but will not fire at all. There is fuel in the carb bowl (accelerator pump squirts fuel), so I assume there is no spark. I have the Crusader shop manual and will check the ignition coil and pickup coil resistance values. I will...

    Multiple vanes from impeller missing: where do they go?

    Hi all, 2004 BF20D, I am changing the impeller. Multiple vanes are missing on the old one. Where do the pieces of rubber go? How do I flush them out? Thanks, Barry

    BF20D: engine quit after running normally for an hour, will not restart

    Hi everyone, I have a 2004 BF20D with remote control and electric starter. It was running great today. It started up normally and I ran it for about an hour in the harbor at low speed. It then suddenly quit and would not restart. A friend towed me back to the slip. The starter spins normally...

    BF20D Power tilt problem

    Thanks! I was able to twist the E ring around with a small vicegrip pliers and the I used a set of punches to drive it off. That part went pretty well. I drove out the shaft with a small steel bar and a hammer (after penetrating oil). I also got the 2 transom bolts out of the starboard bracket...

    Crusader 454 excessive exhaust steam

    Hi all, I have Crusader 454s from about 1990. They are fresh water cooled systems with heat exchangers. Port is a Mark 4 and starboard is Gen 5. Starboard was apparently replaced under warranty early in the boats life. I have owned the boat since Dec. Maintenance records are not available...

    BF20D Power tilt problem

    Hi All, Today the power tilt struggled to raise the motor and now it will not tilt down. There is also a small oil slick on the water coming from the unit. Any idea where the leak might be coming from? The unit worked perfectly prior to today but I have noticed a slight sheen on the water for...

    Broken bolt for zinc on frame BF20D

    Hi all, More questions as I restore this 2004 BF20D. The bolt for the zinc on the mounting frame (not the 2 on the gear case) is broken off flush with the surface and the zinc is gone (previous owner). They have a zinc bolted to the frame using one of the holes for the tilt adjusting rod. How...

    2003 225 HP 4 stroke power loss

    Hi all, I did not get any replies on the Yamaha forum so I am trying here: My friend has twin outboards with the Mercury name on the covers. They are manufactured by Yamaha I believe and are 4 strokes. We had sudden power loss in one engine, max rpm it would reach was 2500. We made it back to...

    Hi all, My friend has twin outboards with the Mercury name on the covers. They are manufactured by Yamaha and are 4 strokes. We had sudden power loss in one engine, max rpm it would reach was 2500. We made it back to the harbor and the engine quit, but restarted. Both engine feed off of the...

    Frozen screws for motor covers BF20D

    Hi all, I can't remove several of the screws that hold the plastic side covers on. I need to get access to the oil filter and the starter wiring. I tried PB Blaster but the screw threads are not accessible from the outside. I also tried an impact screwdriver but they won't budge. Boat lives in...

    BF20D electric starter intermittent

    Hi all, I have a 2004 BF20D with remote control and electric starter. When I first turn the switch to start the motor turns maybe half of a revolution and then the starter stops. If I repeat this a few times the starter will eventually spin freely and then the motor starts and runs normally. Do...

    Clicking metallic noise in exhaust

    Hi everyone, Sorry, more questions about this boat. Can you identify the metallic noise in my exhaust? A video is attached. The former mechanic says that it is the flapper valve. I have not taken the exhaust apart yet to investigate. Thanks, Barry https://photos.app.goo.gl/sm2DBvjhtPSnTZpZ8

    Pulley bearing noise, which one?

    Hi all, An issue on my other engine. Approx. 1991 Gen 5 454. There is a loud squeaking noise from the front of the engine after it warms up a bit. I assume it is a bad pulley bearing. How do I isolate which one? The belts seem to have proper tension. Fresh water pump vs. raw water vs...

    Carburetor leaking onto top of manifold after shutdown

    Hi all, I recently purchased a 1990 Carver with twin 454s. Port is Generation 4 and starboard is Generation 5. I exchanged the carb on the Gen 4 motor for a rebuilt one (the accel pump was not working on the original one). The rebuilt carb works great except it leaks fuel from the bottom of...
