Looking for air
Suggest placing in the water and install tubing. Run and see if air is seen Hose can only supply so much water, and don't know how your local system is |
Sorry, should have explained further, just use a foot or less of the hose. Place it at the HX entry and the original hose using barbed fittings

She's definitely not the dirtiest carb I've opened up, but she sure wasn't "just rebuilt" like the previous owner claimed. The primaries squirt gas no problem, but no fuel is coming out of the secondaries. Rebuild kit will be here Tuesday...

I can’t stress enough the value of a wideband on a boat. Even though now I run a Holley Sniper now I still keep the wideband active just to keep an eye on things.

edit: Looks like I have some machining work to do... https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...05737437d4.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6508d44634.jpg |
Mercruiser? Plenty of wedge spacers available.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/OXYGEN-SENS....m46890.l49286 Pretty much any exhaust maker will put them in for you as well. I have CMI headers but found a local welder and sent him this write up. Easy peasy for him. https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/general-q/329735-how-install-oxygen-sensor-bungs-2.html Ive also had good luck with these keeping the sensor out of the water stream. I ran it back to back with and without and had identical AFRs. I have probably a hundred hours on my original sensors.

I just talked to Monitor Products. They seem to think I have plenty of raw water flow because my risers are running ~80* while the rest of the system is at 207*. They should be ~120* he said. After talking to him, we're thinking it's air in the system. It's just not pulling the heat from the a/f due to a flow issue. I wish there was an air bleed, but he gave me a couple of things to try to burp all the air out. I'll rebuild the carb first tomorrow and do what I can to get the air out of the system.
Unfortunately I had my son down in the bilge to drain some of the a/f out of a block drain and he didn't close the drain tight enough. I was sitting on my pool deck when I noticed a big burp of something shoot out my bilge pump port. It's sitting on the trailer... Bah. 5 gallons of a/f in the bilge. I cleaned it all up and will use some fresh a/f. |
