I believe its a 1992 model . Does it have the oil injection with tank ?

Hello friends !
I,m about to pull the trigger on a göetcher 14' with an mercury 40hp two stroke .
Not new to boating and its just an idea as a second boat for fun but honestly i do not know anything about this motor except its a 4 cylinder 40hp 2 stroke .
Searching the net gives me only...
Please watch the video . The generator engine runs like a kitty and is rpm stable all the time . The frequency normslly cannot be true . ~ 50hz at load and wildly swinging up to 400hz at no load .
Hello friends !
Maybe some here have an idea what it could be .
My ( 240v 50hz ) genny has 265volts and a wild frequency with no load but returns to ~ normal values when a load is put on it . Voltage is controlled here by a capacitor , no avr . I replaced the capacitor with a new 25uf one...

Hello gents !
My paguro 4000 genset with the faryman 18w smokes white . It gets worse when fully warmed up but keeps to be "light" white smoke , so no thick clouds of it . It looks like steam .
Genny starts and runs fine , no water in oil
Any ideas how to diagnose if its the injector nozzle...
Good you tested it and confirmed the problem with the injector . Depending on how long you have operated the engine in this condition make also an oil change since you might have diesel in the oil . Check if oil level rised .
Its not firing on all cylinders at idle , you can hear it clearly .
Since you can reach normal rpm,s at wot, the engine starts to fire again on all cylinders at higher rpm,s .
One injector is faulty at idle but kicks in at higher rpm,s .
I solved the mystery ( at least partly ) .
Mercruiser was not a great help , they told me that with non us made engines i need to contact mercuiser in europe - what i did . Mercruiser germany was not helpful at all , they promised to call me back and i,m still waiting .
A great help was...
Thank you very much funtimes !
The serial numbers i posted are correct for sure , verified on the engines and boat papers - and we are talking definitely diesels , not petrols .
Its the engines you mentioned in the link , correct .
If 0"L" generally refers to 98-01 , it would ~match with...
Hello gents !
I,m about to pull the trigger and purchase a 2002 sealine s34 with twin mercruiser d4.2-220 and bravo2 drives .
What puzzles me : i believed this are engines of the early 90's , not 2002 ??? They seem to be the pre d-tronic series of the 4.2 .
Can somebody tell me the...
