    FLASHING A 60 HP SCOTT GENERATOR

    Then you should be good to go. I won't be home for another week. So you can find a video or I will upload parts of the manual later. It is not that hard to do.

    FLASHING A 60 HP SCOTT GENERATOR

    It's been forever since I have done it. But I do have the service manual for those motors. Is the Voltage regulator in good shape? What you are doing is polarizing it. Make sure your points are set before you do it. This video is the one I have bookmarked to do it.

    Wire location ?

    That is a ground wire put it on one of the mounting screws. Between the block and the switchboard. Clean that surface to shiny clean. I can't ever stress enough get a factory manual and do the tests.

    4Cyl 2Strk lower cylinder won’t fire. Has spark but low compression.

    The sensor is in the tank. Do you have the tach with 3 lights? And yes that 100#s of compression is concerning. But that motor should have had 2 tanks I believe. You might need to buy a factor manual for your motor.

    4Cyl 2Strk lower cylinder won’t fire. Has spark but low compression.

    Look for wires rubbing somewhere? What year Yamaha 115? Are all the linkages moving smoothly? Anything broke? Bad oil sensor?

    Need help Frankenstein

    NO it will not work. 30 hp does not interchange with the 25 Merc built motors. Get off the Marathon and Sea Pro they are just names.

    Looking for a prop gasket for 2004 Mercury 8hp

    It is perfectly normal for your motor to do that. Stop looking for things to be wrong with it , or sell it and buy a 4 strk

    Is my outboard direct fuel injected?

    Mercury had loop charged V6s in the late 70s. They also had the 18/25 hp motors in 1981. You also called an Optimax a mechanical direct injection which it is not. The corvette was a mechanical injected up until 1965 I believe hardly modern. There were other loop charged engines out there before...

    Something doesn't sound right there. How do you blow a timing light they are inductive?

    Is my outboard direct fuel injected?

    Did you fact check this? OMC never had a patent on loop charging. When did modern cars become mechanically injected? The oil in the fuel is not the biggest emissions problem with carbed 2 strks. It's the unburned fuel going out the exhaust.
