You may have posted this , all fuel filters clean ? including the small ones in the carbs ? If the chokes are not 100% open the secondary's will not open

Oil 15w-30 ?? You mean 15W-40 ? That or straight 30 or 40 ( warm/ hot areas) no snake oils please

Was that running wide open ? When was the bottom last cleaned ? Fresh (closed) or raw water cooled ? What weight oil ? Why the snake oil ?(marvel mystery oil) it thins the oil . And have you checked the firing order ? On the high idle engine make sure all the choke linkage is free and check to make ...

Congrats on the boats . Glad you are enjoying her . It is funny how once you own one you notice how many are around .

Depends on what your linner if made of . My F36 is fiber glass so any f-Glass cleaner would work . I could even buff it

Back to your OP first: By "clicking," do you mean "click," or "click click click click click?" I think you've got Prowlersfish confused...... As for the neutral switch question, you've got a wiring diagram, right? I pulled mine out. Looks like all the neutral switch does is prevent starting solenoi...

Glad you got it .

Did you check the voltage at the starter ? When trying to crank ? Again also check your install of the solenoid since you could jump it before .

Its normal for a relay to click when activated . When turned on or off you may hear a click . Am I understanding that it would start jumped at the starter solenoid it would start then you replaced it and no longer does ? The solenoid is on the starter . You also may have a starter relay on the engin...

They all need to be replaced , with brass .

That solenoid/relay is for the system that jumps the batteries . The problem may have been the neutral safety switch . But now it sounds like you have a starter solenoid issue too . Bad part or a Install issue ? So likely 2 problems to diagnose and fix .

Are the both losing power at the same time ?

A very good looking upgrade!

Thanks , BTW at one time a few owners ago that rail was yours .

Any support from the seller ?

Forgive the poor photos of photos . The screws viewed from the bottom of carb . I have always hated chokes on a boat , I used to set my lean or open by disconnecting .But you have to play with the throttles till they warm up a bit Nice thing about diesels no choke . Did I tell how much I hate chokes...

454 crusaders with quadrajets.

It was a bad resistor. Put another new one in fired right up.

Now the new problem is the fast idle set about 2500 RPMs. I don't see any kind of adjusting screw.

Fast idle screw is on the same side as the choke linkage (well hidden )
