    1993 mercury 175hp carb

    If it's running good and just not reaching the RPM's you think it should, then you might be over propped. What size/pitch prop are you running?

    Bow light not working

    Chieftain, you go to any switch in your house (not a 3-way) and reverse the wires on the switch. It will still work!! A simple switch has no positive or negative. The screws aren't different colors are they. You can run hot straight to a light and put the switch in the return, or ground, or...

    Perko dual battery switch

    I've had problems with those switches before too. Whenever you have those problems, it will usually work if you switch it back and forth a few times. If that doesn't work, set the selector sort of between "ALL" and "1" or "2". There's a large contact point, but the selector puts the contacts...

    honda dies when throddling down

    Is that a TPS? Throttle Position Sensor? Might make it easier to google it if he has the correct name for the part or system.

    Bow light not working

    That makes no sense guys. one wire in, one wire out. "ON" completes the circuit, "OFF" does not complete the circuit. Electricity passes through a light bulb in either direction. A simple switch just allows current to pass though when it's turned on and doesn't allow current to pass through...

    Yahana 200hp txrr stumbles at idle

    And also use compressed air to blow out all the passages. The idle circuit on those carbs has tiny holes in the top once you get those big brass plugs off of the top You've got to get those tiny holes cleaned out to get good fuel supply at idle and lower RPM's. Those big brass plugs need a...

    1984 force 125 spark issue

    How are you testing for spark? What wires are you talking about moving from cylinder 1 to the other coils? Try inserting some periods here and there and make complete sentences. I am really struggling to understand what you are saying.

    Bow light not working

    That makes no sense at all. All a switch does is complete the circuit. On completes the circuit, off interrupts the circuit. Basic 12v system. Does the switch connect to anything else? Both lights? Again, a simple switch with two wires, "ON" makes a connection and "OFF" doesn't make a...

    1999 Yamaha 115 idle adjustment

    This is totally off-topic, but I notice that you have a 1996 130 Yamaha. Very similar to mine. Just wondering about the oil injection delete. I've always heard that the Yamaha oil injection system is the most reliable one out there. I'm just curious if you had problems with it, or just...

    Need help

    When you say you replaced the ignition, are you referring to the key switch? If not, I would have checked that first. How are you testing for spark? I'm not as familiar with Mercury as I am with OMC and Yamaha, but I would search the internet for a wiring diagram and see exactly where the...

    Taking apart command 2000 remote control

    I did a quick google search to find that it's actually a "commander 2000" and there's all kinds of videos and information on them. There's a lot going on in there, so you might want to take some pictures before you tear in to it too much. Hope you get it figured out. I'm guessing the ignition...

    '99 115 Yamaha choke butterfly plates are different

    Yep. You're right. I usually use 22/7 for PI, but I meant to use 3.14. That's usually enough digits to get a good calculation. Sorry for my arrogance!!

    Non conventional issues.

    A crack in the airbox is not your problem. When making carburetor adjustments and fine tuning things, it's usually done with that taken off. I'm guessing the jets are clogged inside the carburetor, but with no real description of symptoms, we're not able to diagnose very well. Crack in airbox...

    Johnson 40hp 1995 overheating and rough idle?

    A lean condition will cause both of those issues. When you "cleaned the carbs", did you soak it overnight and clean out the jets? Did you take it completely apart and did you set the float levels per specs? I've attached a link to a video where the guys shows how to clean the jets. Low speed...

    Sorry about my smart a** comment. The guy just joined the group today. Maybe he's struggling to navigate his way to the responses to his post. Sorry new guy!
