    How do I remove the induction manifold on my 1993 Mercury 75

    Update!!! 1990 evinrude 60

    Just some good advice: When you buy a used boat/motor, make damn sure the seller hasn't put Marvel Mystery Oil or something like that in the cylinders to temporarily regain compression long enough for you to "test" it in the lake. That happened to me. Oh, it ran like a sewing machine there...

    Model TE60TLESM. To start with, motor was running fine up until a couple weeks ago. Then, what happened was I was going at WOT and it all of a sudden gradually lost power until it quit and wouldn't restart. First thing I did was clean all 3 carbs. Then I replaced all fuel hoses from the tank...
