    '89 Mercury 9.9 parts needed

    I'd love to, but can't really find anything that matches what I have. The end of the shaft on the tiller has a wheel with slots for cables to fit in. Then there's nothing between that and the controls on the side of the motor where ther's another wheel for cables to hook up to. Also, I've...

    Eska 1945b compression test

    I always look for at least 100 PSI. That's pretty low, but once worked on and running and warmed up a few times, it usually improves a little. Don't know if there's any specific about that particular motor though.

    85 Mercury Black Max 150 Trim Problem

    Sounds like the motor is doing it's job, but the seals are leaking inside the cylinders. The pump basicaly pumps fluid from one end of the cylinder to the other end to make a piston go up and down. Watch a utube video on how to take the cylinders apard and replace the O-rings. There are lots...

    Mercury 1987 20hp will not run

    Is the flywheel key in tact? Try putting some gas from the fuel tank in a spray bottle and spraying gas into the carb while cranking the motor. If that gets it to run, you have some clogged jets in the carb.

    Question for You Evinrude Boys

    Not sure about other areas of the country, but here in southeast Georgia, every boat repair shop has dozens of boats that were dropped off for repairs and/or estimates and never picked up. So, they will occasionally turn some parts loose off of those boats. Look for those boat junkyards...

    1973 Evinrude 25 sneezing

    In the attached diagram of your carburetor, items 4, 5, 35 are all part of your idle circuit. The plugs need to be removed so you can thoroughly clean the passages beneath those plugs. In order to do this, you'll need to order a carb kit which will contain the replacement plugs. If you don't...

    '89 Mercury 9.9 parts needed

    Nope. The end of the shaft on the tiller handle has slots for the cables to fit into. The cables go under the carb and connect to the shift and throttle linkages. Here they are...

    Mercury 1987 20hp will not run

    Spark jumps 3/4" to 1" gap? Not sure that I've ever seen that before. How did you set the timing? Did you do a full link and sync? Spark is no good if at the correct time.

    91 Johnson 175 gt

    If it's always been hard to start and has always idled poorly, you have probably always run it lean at low speeds. The time to fix this probem was years ago.

    On-water toolkit for 50hp Yamaha?

    Hey, it's a Yamaha! You just need gas and a good attitude! Spare fuse. Big screwdriver to manually release the motor if tilt/trim stops working (I didn't have one and took me 3 hours to return from a 30 minute outing because motor was tilted up to beach the boat and I was the last one to...

    '89 Mercury 9.9 parts needed

    There's a set of cables that will make the tiller work correctly. They go from end of tiller shaft to the controls on side of motor. It's the drive shaft that is the expensive part. Can't go without that. Cables are about 50. Control box with cables I can find for about $100, but the...

    88 spl leaking gas

    That's probably it. Easy way to check without putting carbs back on is the get a piece of fuel line and hook it up to the input nipple of the carb. Blow into that piece of fuel line and slowly turn the carb upside down. The air should flow into the carb until it's upside down, then you'll...

    Trim Pump Motor

    And, it's hydraulic. The motor actually pumps fluid. It's not gear driven.

    '89 Mercury 9.9 parts needed

    I bit off more than I can chew on this outboard purchase from a neighbor. It's a special motor made for sail boats and pontoons. It's a long shaft and made woth work with a control box. It's a tiller handle, but you twist the handle and nothing happens. There seems to be cables that can be...

    Please help trying to check timing

    Are you sure you're testing the correct plug wire? The #1 cylinder shoule be the very to one, a little higher than the one beside it. I'd get ahold of a shop manual and make sure that the wiring to the coils is correct.

    2000 Johnson 40 hp Won’t start

    Do you have a fuel filter of any type? If not, trash in the bottom of the tank could have made it to the carbs and clogged up the low speed jets. Unless it's a tiller, you can bypass the shift and open the throttle to about mid way and see if it starts. Are the spark plugs wet with gas? If...

    80's Bayliner fuel gauge/sender ohm range?

    When I had problems with my gas gauge, I went to test the sender and it had the ohms range stamped on the flange.
