I run the dell similar to yours and been using them for years in various incarnations.. Sometimes the best best is to do a painful fresh install of the os.. The partitioning step is strange and confusing. I keep all my files in one folder with bunch of subfolders making it easy to copy the...
Here is a follow up on what I need to repair. I have ignored the problem but its not getting better so I hope to tackle it this year, time permitting. My fishing is exclusively salt water .
I want to make a quick fix that can be done with temps in the 60's before its time to enjoy the boat...
Good day,.. new guy here...
Need to do some top side repair and paint and hope to find a similar color to the body of my boat. Wondering if anyone else has found a good match.. brand and color code..

Ever figure it out? If you are talking about a bf100 (thats the blue body 10hp) then I may have the parts laying around. I do not think you can get that stuff new anymore.. If I remember correctly, the rod is disconnected at the shift lever rather than disassembled.. Sounds like you messed...

Serial numbers help identify what you have and the options. Honda sells a very nice manuals on their website and they do a very good job on diagnostics. There is an old b75 book on their site that may apply to you. The wiring diagrams are handy as a couple things are counterintuitive. On my...
Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable replies.
Interested in hearing the some feedback from long time users of the tohatsu 9.8 in salt water and corrosion issues. Had an old merc and bolts always got stuck, broken off etc, as stainless and aluminum don't mix. Most of the old motors...
Thanks for looking and your insightful answers.. I have this 1975 4.5 hp mercury.. Carb is stamped Merc carb 1399.. Parts are on order including needle valve and seat, and full fuel pump rebuild... Only have a clymer guide so not sure how to remove the fulcrum pin so I can get the needle valve...
Thanks in advance for answers. Just got the boat, waiting for a manual. Trying to replace the carb gaskets and needle valve. The float fulcrum sat flush on one side and extended out on the other. Gently drove it out with a punch from the flush side and see that the flush side is serrated...
