    1976 Chrysler 105 running rough immediately after adjusting carbs on the water.

    My motor had ran really well for about an hour or two, until I decided to fine tune the carbs. Could just be coincidence, but it started acting up immediately after I made some adjustments. I had made this adjustment in a bucket, out of the water, but the instructions say to do it in gear, on...

    Fuel connector compatibility issues.

    An update to my issue for anyone in a similar situation. I noticed that my local Walmart had two different styles of female connectors. I purchased two of each. The ones labeled only "Mercury", fit the newer tank with the slightly larger diameter post, the ones that said "Mercury Mariner...

    Fuel connector compatibility issues.

    So I have a fuel tank and fuel line/bulb that has been used since about 2004 when we purchased a new Mercury. I've had a newer scepter fuel tank sitting in the garage for some time now, and decided to start using it. The quick connector will not fit properly. I tried drilling the receiver...

    Clarification on Chrysler 105 w/ magnapower II ignition switch wiring.

    1976 Chrysler 105, magnapower II So this is my first time with an outboard. I am a bit confused by the wiring. It did not come with the controls, so I purchased separate. The new control box had no ignition, so I'm going to use a generic marine switch with a push to choke. I have the manual...

    Questions on '76 Chrysler 105 first start after sitting for years.

    Thanks for all the info, this helps a lot. No, I didn't do a compression test yet, because I didn't want to turn the motor over until I had some kind of lube in there since it's been sitting so long. I've read that it will give a false compression reading since the lube helps to seal any air...

    Thanks. I did try to turn by hand as I tried shifting, but nothing. I didn't try to force it,. I'll see what I find when I take the unit off.

    Questions on '76 Chrysler 105 first start after sitting for years.

    Thank you, is there a particular place that everyone likes to order from, or just wherever? Also, I don't have the control box & cables. I do know which ones were OEM, and there are some out there for sale, but was wondering if there are any others that would fit, in order to expand my...

    Questions on '76 Chrysler 105 first start after sitting for years.

    I recently acquired a 76 105 to be used on my sailboat. I was told the motor had been sitting for about 20 years. I have it up on a stand now. I took the cowling off and it looks to be really clean for its age. There are no signs that it's been worked on in the past (bolt/screw heads look...

    2005 Mercury 25hp no water from indicator hole before or after impeller replacement

    Hello everyone. My father passed away a few months ago and I've taken over some of the duties over at my mom's house. I put his pontoon boat in the water and fired up the engine (2006 Mercury 25 hp 4-stroke) and noticed right away there was no water coming out of the indicator hole. It was...
