    Stripped threads on carburetor

    If you have sufficient room on the carb body, you could drill and retap for a flush bushing. You would need to find a flush bushing that fits the fuel line, and get the right tap and drill for the male part of the flush bushing.

    My 1998 Seaswirl boat wiring harness has a lot of corrosion in the 12+ pin connector

    I am having trouble with the subject. The corrosion has restricted the power and likely ground at the connecter to the boat part of the harness. The engine harness seems fine. Are there any boat wiring harness plugs that are recommended to replace those. Do the pins for the replacement...

    Trim pump wiring help

    Bartone, If I understood correctly, you have the older "pump/reservoir in the boat" style PTT system. Those systems have one or two solenoids. They often have a trim limit switch as well. Here is a pic of how the wiring came from the factory, on a one solenoid system. If you have two...

    1998 115 (E115SLECM) VRO leaking fuel

    I had the same issue. My '98 Johnny OMS pump was leaking raw fuel. Being that it was 27 years old, I replaced it. Upon further review, the oring where the raw fuel line attaches was leaking.

    No Power to Sparkplugs. Any advice appreciated

    On that ignition system, the magnets on the flywheel swing past the stator inducing voltage to the rectifier and the two switchboxes directly under them. The rectifier only charges the battery. The trigger under the flywheel tells the switchboxes to fire the coil and spark is produced...

    Maybe the primer solenoid is stuck open? Is the red lever parallel or perpendicular. to the block.

    What is this connector/bracket thing?

    A simple gps or fishfinder comes to mind, based on the small number of connections.

    200 HP Evinrude/Johnson Carb Kit and Rebuild

    Gee, I think what the mechanic told you is utter crap. You should never need to drain the carbs. The motor should start in 10 sec. I don't even drain the carbs over winter, and never have any issues with them.

    200 HP Evinrude/Johnson Carb Kit and Rebuild

    1/2 of the idle pocket covers on the throttle bodies are easy to get to as they are on the outside. The other throttle bodies have the pockets on the inside and must be removed to get to 'em. Most carb kits will come with the two cover gaskets per throttle body, plus the gaskets and seals for...

    Inconsistent performance 84' blackmax 150

    Most any water separator for a boat will work. Most are 20GPH, which is a lot more than you need. Water is separated by gravity, and the gasoline above it is filtered, much more than the dinky screens or inline filter that came with the motor.

    200 HP Evinrude/Johnson Carb Kit and Rebuild

    Check the carb bowls for warpage. Those plastic ones often warp and then leak. Some of those carbs have the idle mixture needle in the throttle bodies. They often have covers over them. These covers can be removed and the idle needle and passages cleaned, without removal of the needle. Some...

    Johnson water pump possible issue

    Sorry, I obviously did not read your post properly. I am not sure what to suggest. You might check the passage under the waterpump base for blockage. Also, my '98 Johnny has a strainer that was nearly clogged, however, it only ran to the telltale/flush port. After 27 years I cleaned it...

    Ron, I have a '93 Merc 135HPV6. Here are two pictures, if it helps.

    Johnson water pump possible issue

    Gee, when was the waterpump last rebuilt? Ditto on the thermostat. Just so you know, when trimming motor, most props will slip before cooling water to the motor is interrupted.

    Mercury 175 HP V-6, 2.5 liter, Serial # 0G042584

    Gee, Crowley shows it as a 1994 Merc 175HPV6, in the serial number look up. However, it shows it as a 1992 135HPV6 when the diagrams come up. A possible bug in the SW? https://www.crowleymarine.com/mariner/oem-parts/outboard/1992/7135412ad Maybe ebay or someone has one for you. I would...

    Spark plugs for a Merc outboard

    I found some BUHW spark plugs at some local (NJ) advance auto stores for $5 ea. Not all stores have them so they look like leftover stock. You could investigate that route. The BUHW-2 are nearly impossible to find for any low price.

    88150a7 Quicksilver Throttle Issue

    That looks like a universal remote control. You might make sure as Alldodge says, that the cables are correctly attached. Perhaps the OEM has a data sheet on it.

    Spark plugs for a Merc outboard

    AC also made a line of spark plugs equivalent to L78V. My '76 Merc 1500 came with those from the factory. V440 something was the number on that one. Not sure that helps. What does Merc recommend? You can still get BUHW-2, but they are pricy
