    2006 Mercury 9.9 4-stroke kicker won't start with fuel line attached

    Thanks for the replies....we suspected something might be caused by the fuel line setup but we kept coming back to the fact it was that way for 15 years and didn't have a problem. Like I said in my other reply, I'm fairly certain my brother had the boat at Cabela's boat shop where he bought the...

    2006 Mercury 9.9 4-stroke kicker won't start with fuel line attached

    That's how it was setup originally...they've had the boat since it was new, but I believe in 2006 when my brother bought the kicker, Cabela's boat shop set it up like that. Never had an issue with that part, it always worked fine, but it seems weird to me. There's separate primer bulbs for...

    1998 Mercury 125hp ELPTO Swivel Tube Lower Yoke Problems

    Because the boat shop wanted $1500 to do this job, I've been tearing down my 98 Merc 125hp to replace the swivel tube bushings and hardware and it's been pretty grueling. The previous owner ran the boat in saltwater and some things are corroded like the rubber mounts for the lower yoke that the...

    Help for stripped carb nozzle on 1985 evinrude 8hp

    While cleaning my 1985 Evinrude 8hp for the first time in its life I was trying to be thorough and tried to unscrew the nozzle in the center of the carb. I stripped it a little and wanted to know if that will affect functioning or should I leave it alone or try to straighten what I stripped a...
