    1986 Mercury 35HP choke all messed up

    thank you so much for the pictures. This should be a huge help. I never tried winding the spring further to get tension. I’m sure that is a big part of my problem. I will try to get the spring oriented like that diagram and wind some tension and hopefully that will do the trick. I will...

    1986 Mercury 35HP choke all messed up

    When I first got this motor the manual choke was working but not the electric choke. I put the plunger in the solenoid and the electric choke started to work, but would not return from being choked. When I got the electric choke working the manual choke alignment got messed up and didn’t work...

    1986 35 HP Mercury(no power trim) not tilt-locking in reverse

    After changing my water pump my motor no longer locks in reverse. This causes the Motor to tilt up out of the water when giving too much gas in reverse. I understand how the spring and cam system is supposed to work to engage it. I popped the lower off today and I can’t figure out how to get...

    New to Me 1985 Evinrude 70 HP

    Hi everyone. Just recently picked up a new motor to work on. The previous owner explained that it ran fine but one day it started smoking and shut off. He said it fired back up but died again and would no longer turn over. He replaced the starter and start solenoid with no luck. There are...

    1970's Mercury 650 3 Cylinder No Spark

    Hi everyone, I'm really thinking about picking up an older 65 hp Me . The guy is asking 150 for it with controls. All I know is it's got "good" compression but no spark. I know these motors have an odd distributor type ignition. I'm just curious how expensive this ignition system can be to...

    1986 Merc 35 HP idle/throttle issues

    Hi everyone, I finally got my motor running. It surprisingly runs very well aside from some throttle issues I seem to be having, especially at idle When in neutral and idling it seems very high. When I put it in gear it drops down to a more normal idle. But even then there seems to be slack in...

    Evinrude Trolling Motor Wiring

    Hi everyone, I recently got a old evinrude 12/24 volt trolling motor from my buddy that came on his stratos bass boat. The motor is in excellent shape and it has everything with it. I tried to do some research and found that this is the high output model given away by the larger prop. I read...

    86' 35 hp Merc Lost Spark

    Well the safety switch is on the controls on the right side of the panel. That is definetly in the on position. I think you put a clip around the switch and when you pull your lanyard away it flips the switch downwards in the off position. I have a wiring diagram but It doesnt seem to help with...

    86' 35 hp Merc Lost Spark

    Hi everyone. So I'm going to start with some background info here. So I got the motor with the flywheel installed with the magnets off becuase they fell off. I planned to epoxy them back on but dropped one and broke one. So I bought a new one and installed it. And it was somewhat successful...

    Hi everyone, I noticed the electric choke doesnt seem to function on my outboard. Tonight I checked to make sure that voltage was getting to the connection on the solenoid. When the key is depressed I read 12v so the wiring is good. Upon further inspection I got really confused how the...

    1986 35 hp Merc Sputters But Wont Start

    Hi everyone. I recently tried to get my 35 hp merc going, but it wouldnt start. It would sputter up and act like it wanted to run for a couple seconds but would soon die. It seemed to backfire and pop quite a bit. Lots of smoke when it started too.(50:1 synthetic mix). I made sure it was...

    1956 Johnson 15 hp Carb Rebuild

    I'm doing the whole carb clean and kit on my old 15 horse. I just have a couple questions. My biggest confusion is how the throttle works? It appears that the roller that is linked to the carb gets pushed outward as the mag plate is advanced. But when my throttle is in the slow/stop position...
