You would need a Ford/Mercury adapter. Available online. I tried to get them at Napa and O Really but they only sold them with gauges.

I know you tested the coils but is it possible that a couple could be snapping to ground internally after warmed up? Not in marine environments but in automotive environment I have seen coils work in...

Couple of things come to mind. Fuel filter, pulse fuel pump, possible fuel line collapse, and possible fuel pick up in the fuel tank strainer clogged. Since it's an '02 my bet would be fuel lines...

I fought my rich issue for a year on my 225 EFI. All six injectors were flooding at idle causing rough running and dieing in gear. That being said I would start with fuel pressure testing first. I...

Garmin is on a completely different circuit. If you have 12.8 volts at the starter then you should have 12.8 volts at the pcm. Leon means that you can get Smartcraft gauges to monitor your motor...

How long did you run it after replacing the check valve. It won't happen immediately. It needs to pressurize the tank and then start pushing oil into the engine tank. If your main tank is not full it...

You can't fix it when it isn't broke. You're going to need to take some tools with you and try to locate the problem when it is happening. The quickest way for me to test is with a test light. I can...

^^^^ This, the guy puts out a vast amount of information on here and helps everyone. The least we can do is purchase parts from his business.

It's being replaced also but if it were clogged it would have kept fuel pressure up instead of leaking down as fast as it did.

Have you done a fuel leak down test. It sounds similar to what issues I had on my '03 225 EFI. My case turned out to be injectors flooding. I didn't have hot start issues but I did have low rpms. Do...

Yep, as far as I can tell everything up to and through the vst is working correctly. The vst pump is putting plenty of pressure, the pressure regulator seems to be working as I checked it with a...

I pulled the vst and checked the pump screen. It was clean as it could be. What I saw with the pressure gauge was what appeared to be a leak during cranking that dropped fuel pressure at the vst. If...

Yep, first time out after winter.

So, I have a 200 HPDI VZ200TLRA Ser l001055 that has a no start condition. I checked the fuel pressure at the vst and it will read 50psi when pump running and no start. As soon as pump shuts off it...

Did you try to swap coils with another cylinder? Did you check the compression on #4?

If it was fine before you replaced the battery then go back over your work. The motor trim/start, and charging system comes from the positive cable from the motor. It would not affect any of your...

Well, it needs some pressure to keep it in gear and gears engaged. I'm assuming the cables are used and not tight internally themselves? The only other thing I can think of is the cables are routed...

So, have you taken in consideration of the shift dogs in lower not fully engaged in gears? Put it in reverse, turn the prop until it clicks and then see if the cable is still in a bind. Same in...

Russian roulette. How lucky do you feel you are.

Both ways?? If so then possibly. It is a pulse that is applied to the check valve when running so it might pass some air just blowing. Try blowing hard and see if it works. You want to blow on the...

So, as I understand it, the lithium battery control module will shut down charging of the battery when fully charged. The alternator no longer has a load on it and is running on its own exciter...

It won't move any further.

Remove the belt and spin the alternator, tensioner, and check the compressor bearing. That's a lot of rust for that motor. Chances are it's going to be the alternator bearing being dry. You will know...

I use a stock tank as I posted on your BC facebook post. But, why not use the flushing port? I understand you might over pressure the system if not careful but it should work also.

Upside down? Sure looks like it.
