    water jacket pitting, is the part still usable?/ pics

    Water into cylinders killing spark. Pulled the exhaust baffle, and the water jacket, cleaned them to medium clean. The gasket was chewed up in places, and there was a big "cocoon" "rats nest" clogging up a spot in the water channel, (water still got through), then all this pitting on the one...

    questioning what my mechanic said!

    He told me he wouldnt work on my motor unless I came and tightened the nuts securing some of the wires to the switchbox. he said that one of the wires was wrong and wasnt willing to risk ruining the ignition parts. I think he's just putting me off for people with bigger money. He has a good...

    water in fuel question

    If the water seperator is crapped out and water gets into the carbs, and the carbs are not supposed to let water pass through the jets, how is it the #1 plug is getting water beads on it? In the event that the plugs were out and water from the hose gets inside the plug hole would it have the...

    69' 1250ss

    I've posted a couple of times here about cutting out at WOT. I took the advise of checking for spark and looking for old cracked wires. Before I knew of the problem I bought new wires, (just to replace the wires), and a new rotor. The cap being 130 bucks, well, I just waited on it. Taking your...

    Cutting out ar WOT

    hey fellas. Mercury 1250ss 125 l6 has been cutting out at wide open throttle. I put the timing light to it and was surprised to find that it's picking up spark , and then not picking up anything at all. I timed it to about 37 degrees and couldnt get it to flicker, so I pulled the plugs down the...

    cutting out at WOT

    mercury 1250ss 125 l6 is cutting out just as soon as I advance the throttle and in foward gear, both in water and out. The RPM will increase, but slowly, and then it cuts out. If I rev it up too fast it will just cut off. At first I thought it was the timing, and then I thought it was the carbs...
