from efi to carb ....engine wireing harness
 
does merc make a harness that you can buy to go from a 502 mag .. or 500 efi ... to a carb motor or do you just make your own

Are you talking about the boat harness or the engine harness?

FOUNTAINBOY27 02-05-2013 08:26 AM

Im talking about the engine harness i want it to look clean on the install and im making a parts list

harness you have can be used . The upper half
Is the efi side there is 1 plug separating the 2
I've done it many times

FOUNTAINBOY27 02-05-2013 09:21 AM

so the harness for the injectors is its own harness which is apart from the main harness

i changed out mine frow
m efi to a carb set-up.my motor was a 94 mercuser,502mag,efi to a 502 carb set-up.i got a new harness from a local dealer.i used for refrance a 89-92 carb wireing harness.this was about110.00.i also changed the distributor to a msd and use a marine box.that was it.there was some minor wiring,but nothing major.everybody told me i was going to take big hit in fuel consuption....i lost something like .5gallon a mile,,,,,,,,a small price to pay for being able to have a boat that i can work on/trouble shoot.i am a old school kinda guy and dont know alot about efi.

I'm in the process of going from efi mag 502 to a carbed set so I'm interested in the break down of what needs to be done.

I was under the impression that I need new wiring harness for a carb application,new distributor and carb module. Am I close with this or way off base. I would love to here what exactly I need to do from those who have done this conversion.

Thanks
