    Water pump question

    It's a 1996 mercury 30hp sea pro, serial #0G160859. The water pump is not peeing, checked the hoses and they aren't stopped up, dropped the lower unit and checked the water pump. Is this motor supposed to have a copper water tube or a coupler that fits on the housing? If it has the copper tube...

    High charge voltage

    I have 15.32v D/C at 1500rpm on the purple wire.

    High charge voltage

    Old battery at 15.05v was maintenance-free. New battery is a regular lead acid not maintenance-free.

    High charge voltage

    I did use a multi-meter connected to the battery and it reads 15.41, like the gauge on the dash. I wasn't sure if it could be the stator, on the two yellow charge wires from the stator, the yellow wire a/c is 23.5v, the yel/gr a/c is 24v-25v, both at 1500rpm. Thank you for the reply.

    High charge voltage

    My tach would work intermediately, and my voltage was 15.05 running on the hose at idle, 1500rpm. I changed the voltage regulator/rectifier (new, evinrude #585195) and running on the hose again, 1500rpm, my tach works but my voltage is 15.41v. I installed a brand new battery and get the same...

    Water pump housing

    I have a 1991 Evinrude 115hp, model TE115TLEIE. My original water pump housing has a bleeder hole on the outside of the housing. I ordered a Sierra marine water pump, part #18-3392, it says it replaces the oem #5001594, but the Sierra water pump housing doesn't have a hole on the outside of the...

    Rectifier

    I have a1991 Evinrude 115 hp that has a water-cooled rectifier that I think may be going bad. Between OEM and CDI is one better than the other?

    Compression check

    I have a 1991 Evinrude 115hp v4 cross flow. When doing a compression check does the engine need to be warm and full throttle on? Or can it be done with a cold engine without full throttle? And what number should I see per cylinder?

    Fuel pump / regulator rectifier

    The bulb I had on it was from '91 and the new bulb stayed harder. The motor has very low hours, probably less than 100. It runs fine at low rpm and at wide open throttle after a few sec is when it feels like the gas is being cut off. It runs fine at low rpm again until I go back to high rpm. I...

    Fuel pump / regulator rectifier

    I replaced the primer bulb and went to the lake twice, thought that was the problem but it was still cutting out. I've just changed the fuel pump to #438556 and ran it on the hose in the driveway, it runs fine. The tach is still working off and on but the rectifier is still charging. Don't know...

    Fuel filter

    Ok thanks

    Fuel filter

    I took the VRO pump off a '91 115hp Evinrude that had a inline fuel filter before the pump, and put fuel pump #438556 on and this pump has a filter in it. Do I still need the inline fuel filter on it before the pump like I had when using the VRO?

    Fuel pump question

    As I mentioned I’m changing the VRO pump to pump #438556. I received the new pump today and it looks to be 5/16 going to the carbs and on the inlet side it looks bigger than 5/16, it looks like it could be 3/8. My fuel line coming into the motor is 3/8 and then the pre-bent U hose is 5/16 going...
