i just bought a 15hp, mercury, #od001912
i believe 1993 off craigslist. the condition is pretty good, but was seized from being in storage for 6 years.
brought it home, pulled the plugs, and sprayed lube overnight. today it turned beautifully! thanks guys!
compression is 150 on top, 144 on the lower. i have spark.
question, plug gap? looks really big, like .90 or so. is this right?
i wanted to pull the lower uint, but it seems that i dont have any metric tools, so ill have to wait. need to buy a 100 wrench (isnt this a american motor???) it looks like there is only three bolts holding the lu? two on the bottom, and only one on top? is that it??
i have rebuilt three older evinrudes thanks to this post. you guys rock!!
the motor:
the other three
