I was wondering if someone could help me please! I have an older 70HP Mercury outboard serial number OA743766, I purchased this without the block, disassembled but has all parts. I have found a 75hp block and wondering if I can use it in place of the original 70 hp block. Thanks!
My bad! I went and put a 30 Amp fuse on my power wire when I upgraded my wiring, these pumps have a built in fuse so now I assume I don't need one on that line? Changed the blown fuse and now it goes up and down properly. My question now is, how do I set the limit switch as I disconnected it...
I believe it’s a 1979 80 HP Mercury 4832469 and the pump is inside boat. It was working on the lake but then stopped, had to lift from inside.. what a pain in the back lol. Think I have two solenoids and I control from the throttle up front. I hear a click for up and it goes down ok.
I was wondering where I can get the hydraulic parts for my trim motor. Was on the lake today and motor stayed down and would not trim up. I hear a click and that’s all but trims down fine. Any information would be appreciated thanks
No the one beside that one behind. I turn it in and the idle goes up and back it out for idle to go down. I don't have a manual for this motor but think I have it figured out now, other then idle in gear might need adjusting.
After I got it up and running I adjusted the low speed mixture and throttle stop screw, in for more idle and out for less. Think I was able to get it correct cause now it will start on second pull (first being choke closed) and it pulls gas in.
great news!! I got this motor running but now it only starts with the throttle wide open. Could you please tell me how to set the fast idle as I still don't have a manual for this motor. Thanks!
