    Mercruiser 260 issue

    Correct on all. Ya the oil pressure gauge read higher when cranking and being towed. Correct it will not start but cranks over. But due to smoke I didn’t really want to try to hard to get it completely turned over

    Yes, there was a slight amount in the bilge, but after it cooled down, the oil pressure went back up.

    6hp tohatsu won’t turn on

    Ya it was put away good. I’m starting to suspect something electrical to do with the oil warning light

    I have examined the flywheel. That’s not the issue.

    6hp tohatsu won’t turn on

    Alright. So I’ve done about damn near everything. The only thing I can think of now is that it’s a weak spark.

    6hp tohatsu won’t turn on

    Yes. Yes. In this new carb is one from the tohatsu dealer. I’m wondering if maybe the fuel pump is bad? It fills the bowl up but not completely. Maybe it just doesn’t have the four to get it through the top of the carb
