    89 40hp carb solenoid pump leaking

    Just last night I replaced the o-rings and made a gasket. The pump looks ok but worn-out, can see light through it. So the leak is solved but definitely going to have to rig a pump for it somehow if it starts leaking and affects how it runs.

    Online service manual comparable to Mitchell1

    Hi, was wondering if theres a service similar to Mitchell1 for outboard manuals online? I found a link for Seloc Online but it appears it's no longer available. People keep bringing their outboards to me for repairs and waiting on paper manuals is inconvenient. Thanks for any help!
