Re: Online Mercury/Mariner Manuals 'broken' or is it just me?
Zamboni, THANKS! Could you please send me the link to the carbs too? <br /><br />Listed below are the problems that I have been having that have been driving me Nutts!<br /><br /> <br />She booooooooogs out of the hole. I have to feather the controls forward and backward and then she kinda goes after the long hesitation. When I get her tached up to 4K and go to give her more throttle she stalls.<br />I took it to an authorized Merc dealer and he said I had to big a prop which was a 10"x16pitch. It had the same behavior as above, but would tach up to 4500K, and going 35mph.<br />Dealer said I needed a 12"x10pitch. It tachs out at 5500K now, but I'm only @ 3/4 throttle, and doing a blinding 24mph.<br />The boat is a 16ft Carolina Skiff.<br />I tryed:<br />1. 4 different tanks of gas.<br />2. 2 differesnt gas tanks.<br />3. 2 different primer bulbs, all primer bulbs were hard.<br />4. 3 different gas tank fittings.<br />5. I removed the 3 carbs, took em apart and they are all CLEAN, yes I'm sure...<br />6. 3 sets of spark plugs.<br />7. 1 new fuel filter<br />8. Yes, I'm sure the gas tanks were all vented.<br />9. Dealer checked the idle setting, and they were on the spot.<br />10. Plugs seem to be getting fouled especially when I trolled around today at 1600RPM. The were wet and black. Set prior to that looked as they should... GOOD<br />11. All three cylinders are firing..<br />My thoughts are that the float levels are off? Anybody know what the float setting is? <br />Any other ideas?
