Re: 1994, 75 HP MARINER
i have the 1990 version of your motor, and mine is also 90hp . but they are both the same design and motors pretty much, except that your trim actually works( long story)<br /><br />leave the oil injection alone on these models, they have a variable rate of injection wich is 80:1 at idle and trolling speeds and it increases to 50:1 at WOT. thats excellent science in the works right there ,my fine feathered friend.<br /><br />these motors are very famous for having a really bad/rough idle, almost to the point that you think its gonna stall, you get used to that after a bit.<br /><br />they also do not have a choke on the carbs, they have a fuel enrichemnet valve, so when you try to start it, just hold the key in while you turn it and youll be golden.<br /><br />my motor is on a 16 foot center console with a 12 inch draft, and the damned thing really fly's!!!!!<br /><br />this motor, even though its gots a rough idle, has ungodly strong mid and upper rpm power. in fact , i have owned over 20 different outboards within the past 18 months( its a sickness, i know) and this one is just plain bad, and thats bad meaning good. it always starts, even after sitting for weeks ata time, and i had the darned thing for 3 months before i found out that it had a fuel enrichment valve. i just turned the key and it started. presto. instant throttle response when going from 1/2 throttle to WOT, just whamm-o and away we go.<br /><br />i know this is a long post, but i have tons of info that you personally can profit from, and yes, mine is teh mariner also, except i sanded all the paint from the lower unit, so now its kinda silvery looking and bad....bad meaning good.<br /><br />need any more info and email me directly at
