    Are you going to re-ring the other 5 cylinders? Have you measured them for Wear? 2 Strokes wear differently than 4 Strokes, and need to be measured in more than just at the Top

    Piston sleeve hairline cracks

    All of the Crossflow V6s were just 1 1/2 V4s and most did indeed have the 3.5" Bore, an exception were the post 1979 235hp and prop rated 175. These had a 3.62" bore. What exactly are you trying to do, find a used Piston to replace a melted one?

    Have you tried applying power to the Solenoid, or bypassing it? Do you have a Wiring Diagram and/or Service Manual? If not, consider getting one

    Outboard will only start when given 10%-30% throttle. Will not start when given full throttle or half throttle.

    If an engine is Flooded, then setting the Throttle to WOT and opening the Choke is a way to potentially clear the excess Fuel, but so does going for a 15 minute walk and contemplating the Horizon.

    Outboard will only start when given 10%-30% throttle. Will not start when given full throttle or half throttle.

    I actually find the Song very Disrespectful on many Levels, having dealt with the Real Things, while helping get Underage Girls off the Streets and out of their "Managers" grasp.

    Power trim options for vintage Merc inline 6's

    Make sure it is a unit with Power Trim, there are some non-power trim units out there. And don't forget to get/keep all the other Electrical Parts, as the Solenoids and wiring are inside the engine Cowl with the Newer design

    Power trim options for vintage Merc inline 6's

    Yes the swap is doable, and requires pulling the Powerhead off the Exhaust Housing to access the Upper Rubber mounts. 1984 was the first year for the Integral Trim/Tilt System, on the Inline 4s and 6s. It will also require you to plug and seal the existing Holes in the Transom, and drill new...

    No spark on my 1984 115 horsepower TOP

    You said it ran before you bought it. What else changed? You had to have unhooked the Wiring Harness, when removing the Motor from where it was to transfer it to your Boat. All wires hooked up correctly?

    Someone has been messing with the Idle stop, as the Locknut is backed off, and one Switchbox has had the Potting Material removed and the Components are visible, or perhaps it is an Aftermarket Part.

    See if it has Spark/starts. And replace the Rectifier, if you keep the engine
