Sorry If I was getting that job done in 40 minutes I would question what short cuts were taken. I guess a bag of donuts doesn't buy what it used to. But maybe some people like the 2nd bag of donuts for the return work.

Sorry ,I just dont think the guy you pay in donuts is the leading expert on the dealership Financials. Wouldn't it be nice if I could trade a bag of donuts for service work.

Why should they put cheap garbage or take shortcuts on the Motor and risk the comeback. Your response shows you have limited knowledge of actually working on these motors. Or what that job actually takes. Does the guy who takes donuts as payment warranty his work? Will he warranty Alis cheap...

I agree buy a different motor and keep yours for parts.

Those are notorious for the tank sensor going bad.

Suzuki outboard 4 strk oil will also work well.

To much for a project motor

The Suzuki built Johnsons were 4 strk fuel injected motors

Carburetor evinrudes only, stay away from the Ficht/G2/Etec. 4 strk Johnsons are OK as long as they are Suzuki built.

Looks like a small Yamaha/Mariner motor.

Yes you can mix the fuel. The 3 and 4 cylinder Mercs had really good systems.

If that is the 3 cylinder motor , they are notorious for bad stators.

That works on my 99 90 hp so should work.

Hang the motor by the powerhead. Take nut off of Center upper motor mount. Loosen the 2 side motor mount nuts. Then slide the bracket forward and remove. If it is a tiller the throttle cable and the kill switch wires need to be disconnected.

Yes Blind bore motors can be bored out. Get a cheap bore scope to look at cylinder #3. But my guess is that motor needs to come apart.

Sounds like you need the 50 hp carbs.

Checked for Spark? Made sure the timer base is moving? Sounds like it is running on 1 cylinder.

What motor? What puller? All Mercuries are not the same.

JUST WOW, I don't even know how to reply to those "opinions"

It would be a better comparison a 2 cylinder OMC 50 idles every bit as well as a 4 cylinder merc. And has a better torque curve. But we are off topic because Texas Mark got his feelings hurt. Let's go back to the OPs original post.
