Speedometer advice & starting problem
PROBLEM 1: I have a 94 Chaparral w/ a 350MAG Mercruiser. I recently took
the outdrive off for servicing and after replacing the speedometer didn't work. It is defintely connected What are the best ways to trouble shoot this problem out of the water? Also I previously posted the following: ----------- REOCURRING PROBLEM 2: I have a 94' Mercruiser V8 350 engine in my boat (21' chaparral). For the past year I have had some difficulty starting it. I dry dock it and when I start it up on the hose in the beginning of the weekend to make sure everything is working before taking it out, it's extremely difficult to start, I usually have to put it in neutral and pump/push it forward and back maybe 5 times then almost put the throttle all the way forward for it to start (and still it has to crank for a about 5 seconds before it starts), once started i run it at maybe 2000rpm for a minute or two then I can put it back to idle and no problem. If I let it run for a while the next time i go to start it, it turns over perfectly.... Now when I put it in the water an hour or two later, i have the same problem except it is magnified and more difficult to start. As for the starting problem, i have tried pumping the throttle like 10-15 times before starting, but still takes forever.... THANKS FOR ANY HELP.. |
