i'm new so hello everyone..
i have a mercury 1000, i assume its late 60's as i cant find any serial number . it came with the boat i just bought. someone has obviously messed with it as it was a non runner (fuel pipe was too small bore) now ive run it in water and it wasn't watering well so after changinging wrong size pipes, dropping the leg off and checking the impellor all seems fine. but with a set of muffs on, i cant get the tell tale water stream out it. remove the drain plug in the leg and run it it pumps out. put a hose inside the leg to the riser tube pumps threw the tell tale tube. first question: with muffs on will it pump threw the exit pipe? all waterways are clear. ive looked for a manual for this model and cant find one, secondly has anyone got a schematic ot photo of the watering system? is there a thermostat on this engine? is there a pressure valve ? and on tick over its as lumpy as hell but runs fine with a few revs..can anyone give me some advice?? and i'm looking for a spare distributor cap for it if anyone has one... thanks in advance for any help
