Re: Mercury Outboard Pink/Salmon wire

Finally got everything back together. Pink/salmon wire is faded red. In all the times I had this apart I never thoroughly cleaned the carbs. I finally did it and started right up even though runs a bit rough. Going to put it back on the boat and do some tweaking and other adjustments. Will let you know how it goes.

So I found a Merc 80 hp on Craigs List and sold my other two motors, rather quickly, I might add. I now have a problem where when I push for choke it grounds out and then no power at all. Also throttle cable acts funny.
