1984 115 Mercury - Blown Cylinder?
My 115 mercury had been making a slight ticking noise for several weeks but ran fine with full power, however, the last time out it completely quit and I smelled somehing burning. It would not even turnover when I tried to start it at the lake. After I got it home it would turnover, but very slowly with no evidence of starting. Does this suggest a blown cylinder and is there an easy way of determing this.
