Re: carb flooded

You will need to replace the needle and seat and possibly the float. I would recommend doing all 3 carbs.<br /><br />TMD

Re: carb flooded

Well it is quite old...I would expect to see around 115 for compression.<br /><br />TMD

Re: carb flooded

You were right! i replaced all the floats and needles caused they were pretty bad! but it wont start still. I think the firing order is off or the timing? what's the firing order on this 1965 1110 six 110 HP Mercury outboard? thank's guys! <br />I think im getting somewhere now!

Re: carb flooded

1 4 5 2 3 6<---That is the newer inline 6 product firing order, I expect the old ones are the same.<br /><br />You will need a manual to set the timing correctly.<br /><br />TMD

Re: carb flooded

Make sure the jet adjusting screws are set right especially if replaced needle and floats.<br /> I had done that little job on mine and didnt even readjust my screws, tought I should leave it alone, boy was I wrong. <br /> If havnt done so, need some advise?
