    3.4 gall honda fuel tank fitting

    Hard fitting to find. I cant find the part #.I'm sure it NLA or would cost alot of $$$$ if found. I needed one a while back and got lucky buying a whole tank for $25! I saw the male connector on the tank and jumped on it. You might watch for a tank with the connector because it will probably...

    1978 Johnson 4hp 4R78E. E?

    I never see the full 4R78E model # listed on the front of the OEM manuals. Just 4R78, etc.. but the last letter E never shows up. I'm sure their probably pretty much the same but what does the never see E stand for? Thanks for any info.

    Hello all, I'm having a hard time finding this motor re: parts. Welsh plug shows 0G008955. Trying to identify year for parts. Is it a throttle shift? It was made in the U.S. thanks for any info on it.

    89 Mercury 25hp xd not getting gas

    Went through carb again, it is very clean. Base gasket was correct. I wanted to see how much gas was in the bowl, removed it carefully and noticed the bowl float was compromised and over 1/2 full of gas. I'm getting another float and not sure if that would cause the problem I'm having of not...

    89 Mercury 25hp xd not getting gas

    Thanks flyingscott, main jet is clean, low speed idle is 1.5, gasket is the correct one, I even put the original gasket back on because it was in good shape just to see if it would change anything. Question, should gas seep out of the low speed adjustment hole if pumping the bulb and...

    89 Mercury 25hp xd not getting gas

    I have never had such a challenge with a carb. Its the type of carb that has the pull out primer instead of a choke. I have gone through it and cleaned it, put a new kit in it. And it still doesn't continue to run, I even put the fuel tank above the motor to see if the new fuel pump skin was not...

    15hp Force 1989?

    Seems like to much pressure to get the motor in reverse, that is if it will go in reverse. Neutral, forward no problem. Its almost like the spring in the gearcase is to strong to move the shift cam into reverse. Feel like I'm going to bend or break the shift lever if I pull to hard. By hand with...

    Primer leaking Merc 25hpXD

    Motor wasnt getting enough fuel (only running choked) now runs good without choke on, it looked like the float arm was adjusted so high it was cutting off fuel before the bowl could get enough gas. Just this primer box overflow leak now.. Thanks again

    Primer leaking Merc 25hpXD

    Would adjusting the fuel bowl float to much one way cause this? Reason I ask is the primer wasn't leaking before and was working ok so I didn't pull it open but thought the bowl float was closing to soon so I adjusted it being that the motor seemed starved for fuel.
