Re: Mercury auto blend

Take it off and put it in the trash, the AutoBlend system didn't work when new and won't work properly now. Just mis your fuel 50 to 1 and you will save yourself grief and money.

Re: Mercury auto blend

Thank you for that advice but at this point im just wanting to know if it is working with out messing up the engine. I fired it up in a barrel of water and the engine ran perfect. I ran it for about 5 min only. But didn't hear any noise out of autoblend.So that is why i want to find away to test it. If i have no other option i will trash it but dont really want to.

Trash it... They are almost as bad as the early OMC (Johnson/Evinrude) VRO systems. They stop working without warning and kill engines....
