I am stumped, I am trying to hook up the RPM gauge to my 74 3 cyl Mercury 65hp motor. The gauge works only when I hold the pulse and ground wires in my hand. As soon as I let the wires go it stops working. I have the three wire setup connected to the controls. White wire to my ground buss...
So my question is does this motor run a poppet valve and thermostat?? Ive been searching for info on the poppet valve as when I removed the exhaust cover there neither was present!!! No poppet and no Thermo... Ive seen posts saying this motor does not have these??? However when I go to order...
Will a 1974 85hp lower unit fit on a 1973 65hp motor? My 65 is a 3 cyl 650, assuming the 85 is also 3 cyl will it work?? I dont have much info on the 85 yet, but its cheaper than buying a lu for my 65 right now. The 85 has a blown piston so im wondering if I go for it and maybe down the road...

She Lives!!! Took some pulls but she finally fired up and missed for a bit then after about 20 minutes of running the miss is gone. Idles well and runs good in entire throttle range in neutral. Lower unit oil is white, its coming off soon. One...

I just picked this motor up. Went to start and the selinoid just clicks. At first the starter went to engage but wouldnt turn, now it just clicks. Juice isnt the issue, im wondering if the selinoid went out?? PO stated it ran fine before it was put away. Got 120 psi on both...

Doesnt it seem odd that a marine manufacturer would use steel for their MAIN component??? Seriously?? Steel for the driveshaft, NOT stainless???
DUMB!!!!
Just purchased this motor and forgot where PO told me to hook up battery. Ive searched around and ive seen that this should be hooked up to the harness?? The harness is untouched in great condition, so no body has modified it. It seems odd that you would just hook the power straight up to the...
So I went to remove the lower unit for inspection and the drive shaft will not come out of the motor. The lower unit came right off but that dang shaft seems to be stuck in the upper portion of the motor. Is there some kind of trick to removing these??? Havent come across this problem yet...
Karma gods are shining today!!! I found this gem on CL for $50!! PO's grandfather gave him this motor a couple of years ago, been sitting in his shop ever since. He decided to just get rid of it and listed it for $50, I just happened to be the first caller. Picked it up today and he gave me...
This is off a 68 16' Trident I am restoring. This IS the ONLY missing piece, and I cannot find. Ive had fabricators tell me $350 just to make this one piece....

Model #4W69B this starter was working fine then out of the blue it won't recoil and I can see metal shavings... I have never dealt with this type of starter any advice would be helpful..

Gentlemen,
I came across this motor with a parts motor for $30, when I visited to check compression the whole motor seems to be siezed. We couldnt get the flywheel to turn at all. Owner claimed this motor ran last year then he just put it in the shop. Parts motor actually had 60 psi on both...
I just couldnt pass this up!!! I picked up this 15' Olympian for $60... Some fiberglass work and I will be fishing in no time. The Transom has some rot, but nothing I cant handle...
My wife almost had a heart attack. :)
I could use a few opinions though. The benches seem to be hollow with...
How does one man torque the flywheel bolt down to 105 ft/lbs by himself???? Is there a way to lock the drive without using a piece of wood between the prop and the LU?? Any suggestions appriciated. BTW its a 18 hp 63 Fastwin....
