    9.9/15 Front-to-back Armature Plate Movement

    Primer leaking Merc 25hpXD

    Fuel connector compatibility issues.

    You need the linkages for the remote throttle and shifter. You cannot use the tiller system for that. You also need to change the front bracket out. Where are you located?

    Primer leaking Merc 25hpXD

    You need to replace the primer diaphragm. You should ave ordered a carb kit with the fuel pump and primer diaphragm. Did you make sure the check ball is not jammed in the spring under the primer?
