Also, when I took the fuel pump apart, there was specs of varnish inside the pump if that’s what you call it. The diaphragm was not punctured or anything like that so I put everything back together with the old fuel pump and still have the same issue.
I can only start the motor with a shot of starting fluid. After that, I can start it all day long no problem. So I thought I’d start with the easy stuff the fuel pump and fuel filter.
I’m trying to replace a fuel pump on a 1988 60 hp 2 cycle 3 cylinder Mercury outboard.
The old pump number is 98766. I ordered a new one but it doesn’t fit. It has a knob on the back side that won’t let it seat properly. I’ve attached pictures of the old and new pump.
Hello,
My dad passed away in January and my mom wants me to sell their boat for her. It's a 1988 Alumicraft Trophy 170 with a 60 Hp Oil injected Mercury. My dad bypassed the oil injection system and used an external gas tank and mixed the oil himself into the tank. I remember years ago he told...
Hello. I have a 2001 5.7 L Volvo penta engine. There is a1/2 inch hose attached to the engine marked in red. The other end is cut off at an angle and just laying loose . Any idea what the hose is for?
Yes, you are right, 5-star Marine does not sell a seal kit for the older models. My model is 3860726. I found a seal kit on Amazon for that model. I hope it works. I have thread started asking for information on how to replace the seals.
I have a leaking steering actuator. I have it removed from the boat. I bought the new seal kit. Does anyone have a good video on how to replace the seals. There are only 2 on YouTube.
So when looking for trucks, if the specs say weight distribution hitch, I need to stay away from that. And to look for something with at least 7500lb towing capacity.
