    carb rebuild, 1966 650

    1966 merc. 650, sn 2109652. My first try at rebuilding carbs. All three manuals say to remove welch plug. Is this really necessary? I see 3 ports that lead to the chamber behind the plug, and I'm sure that I can direct a blast of canned air into the larger one. Would this be sufficient? The...

    1966 650 carbs

    Merc 650 (sn 2109652) has sat for two years without maintenance. I'm assuming that the fuel sitting for so long is not good. I have the carbs off, now I need to buy the kit's. Does the Sierra kit (18-7013) have everything I need? How about the fuel pump kit (18-7804)? I've shopped a bit, and the...

    50 hp water pump

    Howdy! I have an early 70's Merc 500, 50 hp, sn # 3241205. To remove the water pump base, my manual's say to first remove the flushing screw. The screw seems to be made of plastic, and my swrewdriver destroyed the slot! I guess I'll have to drill it out, but I don't know what's behind it. Is it...

    Merc impeller

    I have 1966 65hp (4cyl) and 1972 50hp Mercury's. It seems that replacing the impeller is quite often suggested in this forum. Does the impeller pump water to cool the powerhead? If so, does good waterflow from the peehole mean that the impeller is probably okay? Thanx, Mike

    Rebuild an old Merc?

    I have a 1966 65hp (4cyl), and a '72 or '73 50hp. Both show low compression, 75-90 psi. I would like to rebuild one (or both). I have never worked on an outboard, but I have rebuilt a couple of chevy smallblock truck motors. Should I try it? If so, what shop manual should I look for? Thanx, Mike
