I am not an expert here or know your system, but usually an indication of 'empty' when you have the fuel in it, is a failed tank sender or connection issue. Fuel gauge reads whats in the tank and has no bearing on the line connected. Very strange that normal operation once the hose was replaced.
2000 Mercury 90hp, 4-Stroke.
I've noticed a slight surge of hp when I start to back off from wot when operating this today. Also right around that wot, it seemed to be sensitive and shown moments of more power that came and went. Could this be my TPS failing? Is there a known test for the...
Not a cable expert but have come across some that the first 3' is a non-marine grease used and starts to harden up. Gentle heat gun, I mean gentle!! Some penetrant spray...
04' Yamaha 225hp- Seastar System
I am looking for a spacer for my system HC5345 steering cylinder and there is a 1/2" gap, or play when I turn the wheel. I really don't know the correct spacing for this particular setup but it seems like a lot when I turn the wheel back and forth. I'm...
Yes, I do have 12.9v. at the red/yel wires from the plug to driver. Very strange thing, while checking this and plugging back in I heard the pumps run. hooked up water and it started up!
I seem to be getting an intermitten fail though. It was just idling then quit. Bumped the key and a...
Thank you for the images. My book doesn't have that pic.. So, I'm assuming that the driver (which seems to be the brains of the fuel operation) can't be tested to see if that is the fault, is there a procedure? It's not a cheap part and just to be sure.
2004 F225 TURC 4-Stroke Outboard.
I'm trying to figure out where my high pressure pump relay is on this motor and possible reasons to why I'm not getting fuel pressure on key switch. I have both new pumps both low and high replaced when I rebuilt the VST, replaced trigger, stator is within...
I have a Merc. 2004, 90hp, 4-Stroke outboard that is getting water in the oil. I know that there are only a few ways it could be entering. I have already, split the mid-section and replaced the water tube grommet and all that is associated, both mid-section gaskets, etc. I started it up and...
I have a 99' Mercury 50hp Bigfoot, 4-stroke lower unit that will not engage into forward gear, infact neutral is not happening and it clicks as i spin the prop with the unit installed. I removed the unit and pulled the prop shaft hub out and the shift rod and cam are looking good. I can see...
115 TLRD (4-stroke, fuel injection): I am getting mixed kits and numbers when I'm searching for an OEM repair kit for my 115. Some say 'made in America', which is great, but I'd like OEM for the motor. Can someone assist in the kit # for this application? Is this correct--115225FS?
Thanks for your help on this. I didn't know my about those drives or that there were hard to find parts. I think I'll save my $$ and focus on the Mako restoration I still have to finish! I get distracted sometimes..
I appreciate your comment. I just heard back and a Mercruiser big block is coming out. In some of the pictures, I saw some crumbling wood in the ski compartment, and he said that the floor up front was a little soft. Too bad, the seats are in great shape! A "little soft" means lots of rot...
