3 yrs ago I had Five star marine rebuild my steering actuator . Have not had any problems. Back then their website said not to use steering fluid but instead use regular ATF. Now their site says not to use ATF but instead use AW46. So my question is do I try and suction out the ATF from the...
I have a 1988 60 hp mercury outboard. I do not have the type of remote that has the push in key choke. Does that mean I have the fuel enrichener? or some type of electric choke?

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.
