    1970 1150 noise

    I turn the key on and crank. When it fires and blub, blub's a couple times and doesn't wanna completely run it makes a 1-2 second gggrrring, whinning noise after the firing stops.

    95 hp throttle and shift cables

    What is the best way to get the throttle and shift cables undone where they enter the motor. I know it's silly but I can't figure what the trick is. Not where the cable ends but where they go from outside motor to the inside. I have a 1967 95 hp mercury 6 cylinder. Thx in advance.
