    2003 Mercury 200 2 Stroke carb running hot at idle. New impeller, new thermostats

    Why not? The thermostat only opens at 143 deg not abnormal for a motor to run hotter than that.

    Are you dropping a ski or getting up on one? I had one of those with an 85 Evinrude on it and 48-50 was my top speed. It would also be my last choice for a ski boat.

    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.

    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?

    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...
