    80s 15hp tiller grip removal

    I have a what I assume is 80s mercury force 15hp motor. I am trying to get into the grip of the tiller to replace throttle cable. Are there any tricks to getting these off? I don’t have a model/serial number on this motor so I’m not sure of the year. And I don’t understand the whole mercury...

    75 silver starflite 135hp

    Does anyone know if there’s an option to rig something together in place of oem choke? Mine burnt up. The motor still works just takes longer to crank. I don’t want to spend $185 for something that seems so simple to rig something else to the switch to move slightly up and down.

    Lower unit compatibility

    I have a 70s evinrude 115hp starflite 135580-e. Wondering if a jet lower unit from a 70s starflite 125hp 125183-c be compatible? Thanks

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    Yea it wound up that the mechanical plunger broke off flush with the switch body so it didnt look like anything was wrong at first glance. Got it fixed. Thanks guys

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    long walk for a short drink. The problem was the plunger broke off of that switch and I need to get a new ignition switch and key as well. I temporarily put a “new” plunger in that switch and then bridged battery positive to s on ignition and she fired right up. Thanks everyone!

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    How does it know the position of the start arrow? I looked at it and there’s no plunger or lever to compress. Does it use magnets?

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    Oh I believe you know what you’re talking about. But like I previously said, I’m 3/4 idiot. I’ve re read 3 times slowly word for word everything you have written on this thread and I’m grabbing that there is a switch that likely has contact issues and that most people just replace them but...

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    No worries. I’m at least 3/4 idiot so I need blunt. When you say switch do you mean the black thing with the two tabs that the start arrow is pointing at?

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    I’m sorry. I forgot to list. 1970 115 hp cowl says fastwin but when I put serial number into google it comes up starflite. Push button electric shift. When you say internal contacts, what do you mean? Internal of what? Like the whole motor? What should be taken apart and what should be...

    Key won’t crank like it’s not in position

    A couple days ago everything ran great. Only thing was I would have to occasionally adjust this arm to move the start arrow because i would turn the key and nothing would happen. I removed this arm and adjusted some stuff (I have since adjusted it back, I counted) trying to get the start arrow...
