    V-6 200hp Blackmax Timing set-up

    :)OK...the plot thickens.... I managed to screw around with a few erratic timing settings and the motor now idles fairly reliably... I has lots of "snap" when I crank the carb linkage and the excess oil in the exhaust has settled down to a reasonable amount. I am not going to rev this thing too...

    Excess carbon-heavy oil from V-6 200

    Just ran up my rebuilt V-6 2.4. 1986 V-6 200hp Blackmax, Oil Injection removed. SN: 06592288 Seems to be waaaaay too much oil residue from the exhaust and in the cylinders...The residue is a nasty thin oil that has a heavy aroma of carbon/burnt fuel. The common cause for this escapes me. Timing...

    Merc V6 Bleed Hose Routing and types.

    Hi Everyone! I am in the final stages of a complete rebuild on a V6 2.4 1986 V200 (200hp) and I cannot positively identify the correct placement of all the bleed lines on this motor. The Clymer Manual I have is not good enough as it has only a partial layout of one side of the routing pattern...

    200HP V-6 Merc Crank Hub search

    Hey HI alll: I am overhauling my '84 2.4litre and I needed to heat the hub on the "top" end of the crank in order to get it off.... Needless to say, I was not too worried about destroying the trigger assembly under it. (as I was going to replace it anyway)....but stupid me, I forgot that there...

    Kayot Identification required

    Hello All: I am anxious to find out the Model and hopefully the year of this Kayot... I do not know of any open-hulled Kayots since the early 70s...but it appears original (unless the deckboat upper was cut out professionally) If anyone knows what this is..and how old it is, I would greatly...
