    Need Opinion of 1990 140 HP Envinrude

    I was also looking to buy another engine: 1990 140 HP - Envinrude. Brand new power head - 50 hrs. What do you think of this engine? It has the separate oil tank for the VRO. But I would prefer to mix my oil w/ the gas. Is that OK? Overall, is this a good engine?

    Electric Tilt

    I have a 4 cyclinder 100 hp Johnson - 1990 - rebuilt in 1999. I removed the engine off my transom and put on a stand in my garage. However the engine is tilted up a bit. Is there a way to lower the tilt with out battery power? Is there a manual override to release the Hyrdralic pressure?

    Gas leaking out of Carbs

    I have a 1986 115 Mercury - 6 cyc. After running the boat for a few hours, when bringing the boat on the trailer, we have to raise the tilt on the engine. Is it normal for a little gas to drip out of carbs? I was an Evinr/Johnson guy before this merc. I notice the Merc does not have a cover...

My voltage meter reads 12-13 volts when I turn the key but when I start the engine it shoots up to 15.5 volts, especially when I am increasing the RPM's. Than if I throttle back down the Voltage goes back down. In addition, if the Voltage...
