    Water pump source for 1963 Evinrude stsrflight

    A buddy of mine just picked up an alumacraft queen 16 with a 1963 Evinrude starflight 75hp outboard.

    25hp Merc, no spark

    Hi All, I have a 1980 or 1981 mercury 25hp motor. Lately, it has been hard to start, and had a weak battery, so I have been pull starting it. It was becoming harder and harder to pull start. Yesterday, it took about 20 pulls to get it started, and ran fine once it started (it always ran fine...
