Update - can now get it to run briefly, and am getting a "milkshake" flowing from the exhaust. Pulled plugs and they look clean - maybe too clean. Is the "milkshake" a sign of water mixing with the unburned fuel? The carbs were carefully cleaned before I started this adventure. This motor...
No warpage, float / needle are free. Now, it's not flooding and there's fuel in the bowl, but no run. Will start and run briefly on carb spray. I am out of ideas, period. Thanks for your advice.
OK, so I eliminated the VRO and rebuilt all 4 carbs with the BRP oem kit parts. checked float levels and completely cleaned . Now have fuel flowing the overflow on port-side top carb and massive flooding. pumping bulb once after bowl is empty nd fuel starts coming out of the overflow. other 3...
Hello all.
1999 Johnson V4 2-stroke with VRO - When priming the carbs with the bulb, raw fuel squirts from the hose exiting the vapor pump. Carb on the top left seems to be starved for fuel. Any ideas as to what may have gone wrong? Many thanks.
I recently purchased a boat that has a 1997 Mercury 125 ELPTO outboard.

The powerhead on my 1999 Evinrude E115FPLEEC is blown and I am in the process of removing it but have run into an issue. There are two 5/8" hex bolts that fasten the steering arm to the powerhead (?). These bolts seem to pass through a rubber mount(?) and then into the powerhead (?). I am unable...
Motor - 1992 Mariner 90ELPTO S/N OD130152
Up until a recent trip to MN, the boat has run well, with no issues. During the trip, I drove through a deluge and apparently water got into the fuel, which caused the motor to run poorly. I eventually drained the tank and refilled with known good...
