My engine is ot737856
the starboard rail needs replacement. The surface of the tracker valve is messed up.
My current stbd rail is 859517-12 02171 042
my neighbors rail that he is giving to me...
my opti is an ot737852
My neighbor has a 99 2.5 L OptiMax (no serial) 20” shaft like mine. Will the fuel rails interchange? Are all 2.5 fuel rails created equal?
Yes. His is a 2.5L…
It is! I wanted a project. So here we go.
And before i forget. Thanks don.
Back to that optimax from 99 that is down the road from me. Are all of the fuel rails the same? Sorry i dont have a serial number for that engine. It wore off
Hose connections are not pitted. Yes. The fuel regulator was a hack job. Hey, at least we found why it was running so badly! My $800 opti project might get out of this pretty cheap! Btw my compressor...
Vst was very clean, so was the screen on the high pressure pump.
The symptom of this engine was “it runs, but runs rough”
1. Compression test…all good
2. Air compressor, turns by hand, no noises, strainer looked good (this engine was maintained pretty well)...
This engine was used in salt/brackish water.
Sorry. Betting against the fuel problem. Previous owner only used ethanol free, all screens in the vst are clean so are the injector screens. The tracker valve is purple. Does that indicate...
Heres the pic
The purple tracker diaphram looks ok. But the seating area is a lttle chewed up. Can a smooth this out with a dremel? Or are these rails doomed? Will post pick as soon as i can
The lower unit on this old OptiMaxx has a crack in it…A guy down the road has a lower unit on a 98 OptiMaxx… Unfortunately I can’t get the serial number off of it… The plate is completely faded....
I was looking at it today on my 2.5 L. Seems like you could get something that would ring clamp to the two items that need to be filtered. (Air compressor intake and the main engine air intake. I can...
I have a nice 14pin switch, but as you can see my 2002 optimax had 8 pin female, i really dont want to apend the money for the adapter. Can i simply buy a start trigger? This is for doing “on the...
I am looking at buying a 3 L OptiMaxx for my pontoon boat…i am wondering about the following….
1. What year did they really get the design bugs worked out? 2002 and newer?
2. what are the features...
I currently have a 2.5 efi from 99 or 2000 on the boat. Looking to swap with a 2006 optimax. Will i hit any roadblocks with the rigging on this swap. Specifically the engine harness?
Here we go again. I found a good clean 2002 optimax for 2k. About the same price that could get for the 2.5l efi that is currently on the boat. I dont care about speed. All care about is saving $$ on...
Sounds good. I will make it happen and report back here
Ot-065888 can i replace it with any internal valve like a tire? Or because its fuel related...is it a special kind of valve?
Ot-065888 I tried replacing the old gray fuel line off of the top of the diaphragm lift pump (goes from top of lift pump to the input of the water sep filter)… With good black new fuel line. But the...
You are wrong about the pee stream. Thermostats have nothing to do with it
I an not hearing anything “whirring” at key up...but it must be working! Thanks, now...will 2017 four stroke hook up to that rigging?
