1985 110Hp Mercury outboard

[Kissdude]

Hello, I was wondering if someone could please tell me what adjustments I need for my little kicker motors pull start. It is about a 1985, 110 Hp and My issue is that when I pull the cord, sometimes it catches right away and turns flywheel but then other times, it pulls about 2 feet before catching. Mostly it doesn't catch till about 2 feet of cord being pulled out. Any info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Yes, I believe that it is a 9.9 Hp but says 110 on the side. It's not a very big motor.

Sorry.. serial number is 7151133

A 9.8 HP ( 1981? ) ----Remove recoil see how latches move.----Perhaps too much grease put on the mechanism.

Ok thanks and just wondering, do the latches need grease?

Up to you to take a look , to see how this works.

Check your serial number, the one you supplied does not pull up

I tried Crowley and merc sites both didn't pull up?

Thanks guys! I do find it comical when people tell me to check the serial number when its right off the little plate below the mount, is there some other place on the motor with another plate that says serial number???

Is this a Canadian built motor , yes or no ?

I really don't know. All I have is the serial number

Not sure if all do but my 82 50hp also has a plate under the cowl. It may be correct but it's not pulling up under the merc site parts list same with Crowley marine.

Post a picture of the plate and serial #----Look for it on a list of Canadian built 9.8 models !

After looking, the name plate does say it is made in Canada. I was trying to find out how to service the latches on pull start cause mine don't catch every time, wasn't sure if they need lubrication or have to be dry.

Also, I have to replace the gear shift lever and need a part number.

There you go.----Simple when you post correct information !----Have a bunch of shift levers laying around under snow here.
