    Power trim for Mercury 200 1983

    I'm missing the pump to the power trim on my engine. On this engine the pump is mounted in the boat and then two hoses to the cylinder on the motor. I was wondering if I could get a pump and hoses for a Mercruiser inboard? Original parts are both hard to find, and very expensive.

    Mariner 200 EFI fuel pressure issue?

    I have a problem with my Mariner 200 EFI. It loses fuel pressure to the injectors sometimes. I have installed a gauge so I can keep track on the value. And I have now connected an electric fuel pump between the tank in the boat and directly into the VST tank. It gives 97 gp/h liters/min if...

    3.0 exhaust manifold over heats

    I have a engine with the cooling system as in the picture. A new exhaust manifold is installed, new impeller and new thermostat. The engine it self is not running hot, only exhaust manifold getting to hot. I guess that affects carburetor and intake of gas/air, cause after running full throttle...

    Someone here that can tell me if I can use a stator from a 4 cylinder 80hp on a V6 200hp. There is a black cable on the 200 that goes to ground that I don't have on the 80.

    1992 Mariner 200 EFI, lost power

    I have a strange problem with my engine. Sometimes I loose power, the 200hp feels like 5hp even with full throttle. If I put it in neutral I can rev the engine and think it sounds good. But with gear in there is no power. And then all of a sudden things are working, and I can get the boat to...

    1989 Yamaha 225hp extremely bad spark

    I recently bought this engine. It has been sitting on a boat at the previous owner’s backyard for maybe 10 years and not used. And of course I can not start it. Have new plugs but almost no spark on them. Have only seen a very week (almost invincible) spark on two of the six cylinders. There is...

    Mercury 850 no spark on one cylinder?

    I’m having some problems with this motor. First the cables to the trigger was broken. So now I’ve replaced the trigger and put everything back together. But I have no spark on cylinder two? Anyone have an idea how to find the fault? Motor is from 1977 from what I understand.

    Johnson Stinger 70 timing?

    I have recently bought a 1974 Johnson Stinger 70hp. The engine has not been used for about 15 years. Had to clean carbs, replace a coil, and put in new sparkplugs and new coals in starter. Then I got the engine running, but when I was out on the lake the engine felt a bit week. The previous...

    Mercury 7.5 cannot suck fuel?

    I have a 1980 Mercury 7.5 that I’m having problem with. Engine starts up fine and runs great. But after a few minutes it’s coughing and dies. If I pump the bladder on the hose when that happens, I can keep the engine going. So I thought the diaphragm might be bad. Had the carb apart and cleaned...

If I use a screwdriver I can scrape of about 1 mm of rusty iron. The guy who restored the head say it’s ok, have been pressure tested. But I have a bad...

    Johnson Stinger 1978 Powerhead question

    I had water leaking into middle cylinder, so I took exhaust plates and head off. Could not see any obvious leak causes, but I guess there might be one. The cylinders look good and so does the head. So I guess I?ll just put everything back on with new gaskets. Should I use and kind of sealer on...

    Mercury 1150 no spark?

    I have a Merc 1150 from 1970 that have lost the spark. With the ignition on, I have +12V on the red connection. But on the green one that goes to the coil there is nothing. It should be +12V there or?
