Re: odd1 please help

Shakespear, i had the best intentions of looking up the spec, but I forgot.... almost all merc inline motors need a minimum of .004<br />"....a max of .012".........vary the brass shims on the end caps to change it...

thanks so if i have 5 thou and the tollerance is 4-12 thou how come the reed carriers got smashed?<br />also found 1x reed carrier clamp bolt to have come a way the nut was sat in bypass port and the bolt sat on top of small end (so lucky it did no damage).<br />That aside still having problems getting bits<br />and desperatly need a manual number.

Hi Shakespeare,<br /> Here in the states we have an aftermarket series of manuals through a company called Seloc. They're pretty good manuals and the one for your motor is: SE-65 up to 1992, and SE-86 for 1990-1994. They may have revised them again since my catalog came out.<br />- Scott
