I've previously posted questions on my '72 Merc 650 65hp motor....with much luck in the responses...hoping you can come through for me again! Here is what I have done and here are my issues...long, so please be patient w/me.<br /><br />I have 1)rebuilt carbs 2)changed plugs 3) check compression (115 on all 3), 4) cleaned fuel lines 5) new fuel pump.<br /><br />Okay, here's what I got....<br /><br />1. finally got it started and it ran, but couldn't get water to come out of the pee hole using the muffs.<br /><br />2. Now will not start again and after trying quite a few times, stopped cranking...heard a "click" from around the distributor, now no turning over. Battery was fully charged and fine. I had done a load test on it and it was fine. Was cranking quickly, then just stopped, clicked several times, then nothing. Now, when I put the load test on the battery, it won't hold under load...like it "shorted" the batter or something. Without the load, it shows fully charged.<br /><br />So my questions involve the water "peeing" and the clicking/battery issue. Wondering if my distributor could be messed up, but don't know the symptoms of that.<br /><br />Also, I did clear out all the lines for the water thingy and blew air from compressor through it to make sure it was clear.<br /><br />Any and all quick fixes appreciated (smile).
