525 EFI question?
Okay:
I have a single 525 EFI with about 300 hours on the engine and drive. Everything seems to run fine, with the exception of some minor part failures. At what point should I start thinking about doing something before something happens? And what should that something be?
Thanks in advance for the response(s).

Hey Ron -
I'm sure some more experienced Merc guys will chime in, but I would recommend at least a top end rebuild by now, springs and the valve train are really the only thing that should need to be addressed.
A leak down and compression check should give you an indication of the health of the engine.
Better to do the heads now than loose a spring or retianer and drop a valve. Cheap insurance.
Have a great weekend,
Kirk

Okay: I had a faulty crank shaft sensor and had a throttle response adjusted. Now I can't seem to get the RPM's to 5250with my 24 B1 prop where I used to almost hit the rev limiter with it before. Any quick thoughts?

throttle responce adjusted?
Have you touched the cables lately?
Make sure you are getting WOT.
Second would be make sure its the correct sensor, and check timing.
