    Feels like a stretch?

    Well now I'm smacking my head for not attempting this as part of my previous diagnostic work. Thanks for the reminder, it's sometimes easy to forget the obvious.

    Feels like a stretch?

    I understand the separator's function, I would point out however that Quicksilver, the company that I think designed this object, and definitely the one that still makes (has made) and sells these items explicitly calls it a "water separating fuel filter" which is why I deignated the item as I...

    Feels like a stretch?

    I've been working for a couple years on a 1966 or so SabreCraft, with an identical vintage Mercruiser package including the GM inline 6. It's been nothing but a PITA, but I'm too dumb to quit. I got the boat in early '22, tuned it up, got it running, put maybe 10 hours on the engine (during...

    Need Advice on Replacing Fuel Pump

    Running a '66 Mercruiser with a Chevy inline 6, the 230 c.i. version. The thing tended to leak fuel, and much of the fuel system had been replaced along the way, so I replaced damn near the whole system with OEM parts. The OEM mechanical pump struggles to pull fuel from the tank up in the bow...

    Can't find Wiring Diagram for '66 with 230 c.i. inline 6

    Yep, brown wire is not relevant here, that was a bad piece of info I picked up from the SBC community (well, a good piece of info for some SBCs, not so much for me). I found a better diagram, and I think I solvd the problem, once I found a WHITE lead that terminated at the last row of tape on...

    Can't find Wiring Diagram for '66 with 230 c.i. inline 6

    I'm continuing to work my way through a '66 SabreCraft with a GM 6 cyl 230 c.i. attached to a Mercruiser sterndrive. This is identified as a model 150 or MCM 150 everywhere I look (for the nominal but almost certainly unealistic 150hp this engine allegedly produces). I have the Seloc manual and...

    Finding parts for 1966 mercruiser out drive

    I own a '66 Mercruiser IC, I've found most of what I need here on Marine Engine, but I've also had some luck on ebay for some hard to find items, especially parts for the lift system.

    '66 Carburetor Adjustment

    I decided to completely overhaul the fuel system this winter. I'm in reassembly now, and wondering if there are any differences in adjusting a carburetor for a marine application, as compared to doing it on a car/truck. The engine is a GM 230, inline 6. The carb is the trusty old Rochester 2...

    OMC Seized?

    I realize that my recently acquired 1975 OMC 120 I/O is not the finest of boat engines or drives. But I'm determined to make a reasonable effort to save it. The problem now is figuring out "reasonable." So, it's a 75 OMC 120. Sat for 8 years. I imagine the tarp wore out after about 3 years...
