    Mercury 15hp 2 stroke service manual

    I'm looking for an OEM service manual for the above described engine year 2006. Been looking on ebay and the closest I can come up with is one published in 2003. Will this manual do or were any significant changes made in this motor after that? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    1986 Johnson 70 rough idle and at lower RPM

    I bought this motor off a fellow who was upgrading to a 4 stroke. Motor seems to jump a bit at idle and low range RPM and then smooths out all the way to WOT and performs well. I've had 3 cylinders in the past and they seemed to idle a lot smoother. Seems to go through a lot of fuel too...

    Spark plug diagnosis

    Engine is a 1986 Evinrude 30 hp (E30ELCDM). This weekend I rebuilt the carb and did a link and sync. Took her for a boot and it seemed to run out ok. When I looked at the plugs they were like nothing I've seen coming out of a 2-stroke outboard. If you follow the link and look at example...

    86 Evinrude 30 hp carb options

    I have a 86 Evinrude 30 hp (CE30ELCDM) that I need a new carburetor for. I took it off on the weekend to rebuild it and couldn't believe the shape it is in. The thing is unbelievably corroded inside the bore. I rebuilt it anyway and it seems to work fine but I'd rather replace it and don't...

    CARBS - To soak or not to soak

    I have an 86 30hp evinrude that I need to rebuild the carb on. Is it OK to soak it overnight in Kleen-flo carburetor and metal parts cleaner? I have read conflicting information on this and was hoping one of the experts on here would clarify. Thanks in advance.

    Ethanol resistant fuel line

    Great site by the way. After reading many posts about what ethanol will do to old fuel line, I have decided to replace the fuel lines on all my motors. I own six OMC motors, years 1973-1988 and from 6 to 90hp. My question is what sizes of fuel line do I need to buy that should cover all these...

    Engine knock

    I have an 87 johnson 90hp with what sounds like an engine knock. This is at idle. The cylinder where it sounds like it is coming from has a weak spark(have a new coil on order). Could this be the cause? Any other ideas?

    Poor throttle response

    I have an 86 Evinrude 30hp that I am having a problem with. Engine seems to run fine but when I take off from a dead stop I have to really ease into the throttle otherwise it just wants to bog out. The problem seems to be getting progressively worse. My first thought was a fuel problem. Any...

    I just bought a 90 hp Johnson (1987). Just ran it on the muffs for the first time today and it seems I have a cooling problem. One bank of cylinders (one side of the V) seems hot, so hot you can't keep your hand on it and the other bank is OK. Pee stream is strong. Is this a thermostat...
