Installation Notes

  1. Before starting, disconnect the battery and relieve fuel system pressure according to your engine's service manual.
  2. Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the old fuel injector.
  3. Remove the fuel rail retainer clips and bolts, then gently lift the fuel rail to access the injectors.
  4. Remove the clip securing the old injector to the fuel rail and carefully pull it out. Be prepared for minor fuel spillage.
  5. Lubricate the new injector's O-rings with clean engine oil before installation.
  6. Press the new injector firmly into the fuel rail and secure it with the clip.
  7. Re-seat the fuel rail and injectors into the intake manifold, ensuring a snug fit.
  8. Reinstall the fuel rail bolts, torquing them to the manufacturer's specification.
  9. Reconnect the electrical connector and the battery.
  10. Pressurize the fuel system by turning the key to the "on" position (without starting) several times, and check for any leaks around the injectors and fuel rail.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this injector fits my engine?

The surest way is to match the part number 861260T, 861260, or Mallory 9-33101 from your old injector. You can also use the Engine & Model Compatibility table to verify your specific Mercruiser model and year range (1998–2001).

What are common signs of a bad fuel injector?

Symptoms include rough idling, engine misfires, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, difficulty starting, and fuel odors. A diagnostic scan tool may also show fault codes related to a specific cylinder.

Is this injector pre-lubricated?

The injector is shipped clean and dry. It is critical to apply a small amount of clean engine oil or O-ring lubricant to the top and bottom O-rings before installation to prevent tearing and ensure a proper seal.

What is the difference between this and the original OEM part?

This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement. While it is not an OEM-branded part, it is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, function, and material quality. It is flow-tested to ensure performance is equivalent to the original.

Do I need to replace all my injectors at once?

While you can replace just the failed injector, it is often recommended to replace them as a full set. This ensures all cylinders receive a balanced fuel delivery, promoting smooth engine operation and preventing future failures of other aged injectors.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
