merc tune up

[tengals123]

my merc 68 1000 runs quite well. During my boat restoration, which starts in 2 weeks, im going to do a outboard tune up. have i got this right??<br /><br />1. Re-built fuel pumps already.<br />2. Pull all 3 carbs, clean, soak and install new floats, gaskets and adjust.<br />3. New fuel line and primer bulb<br />4. set timming, synchronization and throttle adjust.<br />5. change lower unit oil<br />6. change all 6 plugs<br />7. a few wires from switchbox are looking 'shocking' so i am going to replace.<br /><br />Is there anything im over looking?<br /><br />cheers

Re: merc tune up

Looks like a plan,but start with a compression test,spark test and fuel sample so you don't do a lot of work for nothing.<br /><br />DHP
