Re: Does fuel tank have a check valve?
Thanks. Hope to install new fuel pump tomorrow. It should suck the fuel out of the tank I guess?
Side note: Fuel pump for 5.0L mercruiser $130 at marine dealer, $118 at NAPA, $65 at parts house on other side of town( not sure of brand yet, but it's new) here
With the VST full of fuel, the high pressure pump sucks the fuel that is inside of the VST and pressurizes it, pushing it to the fuel rails. There is usually a pressure regulator somewhere on the output side of the high pressure pump, somewhere down the fuel line. more
Talk to other boaters and you will likely find out that many owners don't know the first thing about the water pump, let alone how to tell when they have a bad outboard water pump! Yet, this vital.
So outside of Mercury’s FSM, the VST is the more commonly name known by more people.
Engines that utilize an older style VST have an incorporated fuel system and diaphragm fuel pump. This lift pump helps to assist in sucking fuel from the fuel tank and get it to the VST. more
If your compression readings are low, or some cylinders low but others high, there are a few potential causes. The most common issue is carbon clogging the piston-ring grooves. The carbon residue is the byproduct of the combustion cycle. Left to build up, it causes the piston-rings to stick so that they can't "spring out" against the cylinder walls to seal combustion pressure and transfer heat. Engine damage will result if the condition isn't rectified. Adding products like Ring Free and Engine Tuner to the fuel, or spraying an appropriate product directly into the engine air intakes with the engine running, may help to dissolve some carbon deposits, although you should consult your engine manufacturer first. However, this isn't a cure-all. Sometimes the deposits are so hard, old, and crusty that the engine must be disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt. [links]

1. Beware of the danger from a spinning propeller should you inadvertently start the engine or shift while setting up. Do what is required to prevent the ignition from firing. This may be simply pulling the engine kill switch. If you must disconnect the battery, you'll have to reconnect it to crank an electric start. Remove all the spark plugs. Number the leads so that you know where they go back. more
When performing a compression check, it's a good time to purchase, gap, and install new spark plugs. Buy the correct ones, and gap them according to the specification for your engine. Torquing the plugs in place with a torque wrench is the best way to ensure that they're tight enough without stripping the threads. [links]
3. Screw your compression gauge into the first cylinder. Make sure that the plug leads are well clear of the flywheel or any moving parts. here
