I have a 200 hp 1988 Merc Black Max. Serial number OB242097. The poppet valve is giving me a hard time. In the manual it is "design one". It looks like 2 circles that are connected if that helps. Here's the problem; last week I noticed water coming out of the weep hole on the poppet valve, so I ordered the kit and installed it tonight, but I still have the same problem. It's not a lot of water, just a few drips about one drop every 2 seconds. I have a video of it on you tube if anyone is interested. the old diaphragm looked almost as good as the new one. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this thing is still spitting water? Throw some ideas at me, even if they are wild guesses. A little brainstorming never hurt! Thanks for your time!!
