    I Give up! is there no wiring diagram for my OB?

    It's been days! searching for a wiring diagrams that matches my outboard... no luck (not even on maxrules) so I hope comeone can help me out. I's a 1981 Mercury 40hp (2 cylinder) 2 stroke outboard, electric start. I have found just about every darn 40hp diagram out there... except mine.

    Noob question on throttle shift cables

    I've spent the last 3 months restoring a 1981 Bass Tracker III with a 40hp Mercury 2 stroke (402) and a Mercury Quicksilver remote control... I'm guessing same year, everything seems stock.

    I got my hands on an overheated Johnson, did my research and found out that this thing tend to overheat. Lots of info in the web on what to do, so I did. Had no spark, I changed the powerpack (solved it). Changed fuel pump and fuel lines (inline fuel filter also) Cleaned carb (although it looked...

    1980 Honda BF75 average speed?

    I was working on a Honda B100 for the past few weeks, once I had it running and ready to hit the water... I traded it for a BF75! I use a 1436 jonboat for fishing, just me (175 pounds) and my son (100 pounds or less, skinny 15 year old), the B100 I had was a long shaft, this BF75 outboard is a...

    1985 Honda B100, possible air leak?

    Hello, I have a new-to-me mid 80's Honda B100L that was used on saltwater, before starting it for the first time in my test tank, I cleaned it up real good: carb, thermostat, impeller, manifold, hoses, fuel pump. It had lots of sand and flaky residue in the internal... the cleanup helped a lot...

    1987 Mercury 6hp, 2 stroke intermittent spark on one cylinder.

    Hello everybody, I have a 1436 jonboat with a 1987 Mercury 6 hp outboard that worked pretty well since I got it about a year ago. At first it started bogging down every now and then, I suspected a dirty carb so I cleaned it (I'm pretty handy with motorcycle engines, this is my first outboard)...
