Getting ready to replace the center/middle piston on a 50 hp mercury(3 cylinder)
can someone tell me if the power head will need to be removed, crankshaft will need to come out, etc...
any ideas how many hours this will take, what it would cost to have a shop do the job, etc...
At this point in time I'm thinking that a lean condition is/was the culprit
however upon tear down & inspection will be keeping a close eye out for the root of the problem
Also have plans to overhaul all the carbs, treating fuel system , marine sta-bil, extra oil in gas for break-in, etc...
Thanks for the help
