    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    Maybe you can hear in the videos what it sounds like. How would I go about getting them unstuck if possible?

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    Anybody think I should take to a professional. I might still be able to make some money from it if I get it running. Only have $200 invested

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    I have compression. Last night when it was darker I could see bright spark in tester and on plug itself. I used a dva to measure voltage from spark plug wire. I got 65 vdc when pulling cord. I'm older and that's the best I could pull it. I have never had it running as a friend gave to me to get...

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    I totally agree with you. That's what I don't understand, I take the plug out and ground it and pull cord and I get blue spark. I am going to wait until dark tonight and check again. Hard to do things without a helper.

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    I actually have a Tohatsu MFS5C. New carb, fuel pump, spark plug. Spark is strong. I spray fuel into spark plug hole, put plug back in. Pull cord and nothing, doesn't even fire up once. Same with start fluid. Flywheel never removed so I don't think it can be timing issue. I did ohm test on...

    Key switch wiring to 2005 Mercury 9.9 4-stroke

    The above motor was set up for electric remote start but I didn't get harnesses or key switch with it. I replaced solenoid. I got a harness but not sure if it is for Mercury, even though description and part # is same. Has 7 pins. See pic. Got a key switch asy. There is no yellow/red wire on...

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    I found a brown wire that turns to green which then goes to solenoid. My thumb is covering the brown wire. I wonder if someone hasn't changed it. Anyways I am thinking you are right but I haven't been able to test yet because it is about to start pouring rain here in Florida. I will let you know...

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    Motor was converted to remote control, no tiller arm or wires. I understand how kill wiring works, but there is no black yellow kill wire anywhere. I'm trying to figure out why no spark.coil and stator ohm tests

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    SD ok okay ko I can't start the motor, no spark so I was going to disconnect kill wire to eliminate that causing a problem. But there are none.

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    I get no spark on 2005 Mercury 9.9 4-stroke.I was thinking disconnect kill wire but can't find it. Since picture upload is not functioning. It is remote start which works fine. I use an external start button. Stator tests good .

    What is that clanking sound

    I transported motor in my truck and when we tried to start it up again gas was flowing from carb all over the place. What is that plunger thing on side of carb and how is it used. Also can't get prop to spin like in neutral but will go into neutral position and start up
