    Mercury 3.5hp 2012 outboard hard to start due to over compression? Cause? How to fix?

    You can get an endoscope camera that fits your cell ph for naff all of the chinese . I have seen a few of these camshaft decompressors and Im yet to see one that gives any hint of longevity . They are a flimsy looking bit of pressed steel or plastic .

    What oil to run in trim/tilt shock absorber?

    I think the suggested options take into account the ambient temp where its used . Ya wouldnt want to thick oil in real cold temps . I have always used ATF for this sort of thing ........mostly because I usually had some

    Chinese carbs

    I guess it depends a bit on what the carb goes on , like a weedwacker is usually either idling or going full noise and there is no real need to modulate the throttle..... generator is similar . I could not find a 116 main jet for the original carb and the kit was expensive so I went for the...

    Reeds?

    I guess there's a 1st time for everything .:D Farrrrr out , I cant believe we have got to the 3rd page and not one of the "usuals " has demanded to know the compression . Tired 2 strokes can be hard to start when hot . Do a cold comp test and then do a hot one and compare the two .

    That is something I had not considered . I wonder how many of those had been run dry . I do carry a spare pump kit on the boat as it only takes a 10 and 14mm spanners to do a pump job ........provided one can get to firm ground to do the job .

    cooking

    you guys seen to get quite serious in the kitchen . I used to fix ovens etc and a couple of things that kept popping up are that a helliva lot of ovens dont settle on the set temp, like with brand new T/stat set at 180 degC might be anywhere between 150 and 200 . If you have a suitable...
