    Please identify this tiny brass pin?

    Ohhh, amphenol pin, well I can check this off the list of sources for my engine failure. About a month ago I found it on the cabin sole of my sailboat, ever since it's had me wondering. Esp when my kicker quit recently, I was convinced the mystery pin had something to do with it. Kicker is 1989...

    Please identify this tiny brass pin?

    I posted this image in another thread last week and heard crickets, so figured a stand-alone thread might generate some responses. I have not seen anything on my engines diagrams to make an exact match. The check valves have nipples that are a close match but those move vapor, i.e hollow, this...

    1989 Mariner 4 ml #6e0-336357 oil seal dimensions

    Sorry, I'm here...Thanks both of you have been a tremendous help, seriously! The reason I asked for dimension is I wanted to hit up the local autoparts stores and see how their oil seals compare to marine seals online. If the same dimensions are available and legit in their construct I could...

    1989 Mariner 4 ml #6e0-336357 oil seal dimensions

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, they are available and I'm aware of this, but I need the dimensions.

    1989 Mariner 4 ml #6e0-336357 oil seal dimensions

    Unable to locate specs for crankcase lower oil seal part #26-14195m. It's no longer produced OEM which means it disappears from parts databases..I can't find anything - ID, OD, etc. No access to service manual or reliable calipers either, if anybody has one (service manual) would be nice to...

    2004 40hp 2cylinder- 2stroke won't start

    I ask this because the tach gets wired through the voltage regulator and if you replaced this already and the tach is still acting up then perhaps the regulator/rectifier is causing the tach to misbehave. Pretty sure the trim gets wired through the same regulator..

    2004 40hp 2cylinder- 2stroke won't start

    You mentioned replacing regulator/rectifier, is the tachometer wired into this? If not where?

    FLUSHING 225hp Honda in harbor slip (salt water) not a 100% flush?

    I value these type of personal accounts, thanks Chawl_man! Why did it takes 10 minutes for water to reach the thermostats from the flush port? The only possible factors that make sense to me would be particulates or insoluble salts impeding the flow, and/or incomplete vacuum diverting flow...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    True, well short across solenoid to starter -- so short the solenoid to jump the starter?? Details often miss the page, I short myself, there is a shorthand version concocted by my brain for the fingers dictation, not to mention procedural stuff getting cannibalized by redneck colloquialisms...

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    Yes, you can short across the starter terminals

    2007 F115 starter relay position and how do you "jump it"?

    From the diagrams and Boscoe's post, the brown wire sends current to the relay, the br/w wire sends current from relay to starter solenoid, so jumping the br wire at bullet connection leading to the relay will send current from relay through the br/w wire to the solenoid. But if the relay is...

    2000 40hp ELPTO cant shut off

    Hey Uncle Dave are you sure that's the choke solenoid? Because I've seen starter solenoids with the same button you describe. They provide an advantage on larger vessels for local access to engage the starter without having to switch it on remotely at the helm.

    FLUSHING 225hp Honda in harbor slip (salt water) not a 100% flush?

    No I agree with you Ian & Deux, and I flush mine in a tank each year - twice - but it's a subject I always pick other boaters and mechanics brain on. Because as much time we spend working on these motors, reading about everything ( in often too much detail), discussing, sleeping - dreaming..all...

    BF40A-ONGOING OVERHEAT ISSUES

    Yep, so very, very true. Hey, It's all good JGMO, I knew what you meant, and should have stayed the high road, my delivery wasn't exactly subtle, so that's on me too my friend. Mike
