This motor has been a breeze so far considering I got it for free, it looks to be unmolested, and it turns over nicely, but yeah a...
1949 Mercury KF-5 " Super 5" Outboard- 2 plugs per cylinder, tool in handle!
I picked up this Mercury motor and looked up the serial number in Peter Hunn's Old Outboard Book. Found it to be a KF-5, and one of the first couple hundred that were produced in its inaugural year of 1949. There were...

This CL ad is for a 16' Lund, not a deep v- and advertises with a 70hp motor. I emailed the seller who confirmed that the coast guard plate says that it allows 70hp. My boat is a 1995 18' Lund SV, a much larger boat than this one, and it has...
So the butterfly valve on my carburetor won't close all the way. It gets pretty close, but I'd imagine that I could idle a bit smoother if it would close all the way. Have any advice? This carburetor is off of a 2000 Mercury Mariner 40hp 2 Cycle 2 Cylinder motor.
Serial Number: 06392118 1996 Mariner 40MLA- No website can match this serial number up with a motor on their databases!

Anyone have a valid login to see the small engine repair center on Ebsco which has a bunch of manuals? The Username: Marshall Password: Public login I saw on another thread does not work.
My 1960 5.5. Evinrude is missing the thermostat. Is it necessary? If the older 5.5's and the 3hp's weren't even made with them, isn't it just one more thing to worry about considering running too cool is always better than warped?
Re: 1947 Goodyear 2G2 by Gale Ignition- How does it work?
So I went and hillbillie rigged it before seing your responses because I didn't want to soder on the plug wires. The new coils have the screw on wire potential. Do you think this setup will work? Things to consider: the new coils are...
What should I check when inspecting the ignition components? I have tons of parts for the later 50's and 60's OMC ignition but it appears that maybe only the condensor is the same. The coil faces in instead of out and the points do not move when i rotate the shaft. Everything looks to be in...
I have the more primative version nothing like Johnson/ Evinrude. The whole leg appears to be one welded piece. ANyways I am going to inspect the lower unit/ rotor. What is the best way to get at this? That screw beneath the prop? Also how to add gear fluid. There are no fill and vent screws...
