Ok so finally ready to take the boat out with the new motor on it. Last night I was power washing some of the crud off of the motor so I could start getting it ready for paint touch up. Went to lower the tilt on it to put the covers back on and all the motor does is whine without any action. Is...
Ok just got my force 90 replaced with a Mercury 115 (1991) and used the controls that were on the force motor. My problem is trying to get the throttle and shift cables set. Not sure what to look for when starting this process. Messed around with the throttle a little bit and tried to start it...
Before I installed my 115 Merc lower unit I forgot to check if it was in neutral. Test started for a few seconds and realized lower unit is in drive. When shut down I turn the prop one direction it clicks, and the other direction it turns the motor over. Haven't got the controls hooked up to it...
Howdy all, I am in the process of doing my motor swap to the Nitro right now. In the process I bought a new tilt pump as the other one checked out dead (old one was 3 wire, gree, blue, black) New pump is 2 wire with Green, blue. Both the old and new pump appear to be shot by trying to test them...
Hello everyone, I purchased a boat with a 1991 115 Merc on it. Purchased without lower unit and now have one on the way. New problem is that while playing around with the motor I realized the tilt pump is dead. Tried hooking pump directly to the battery already. My problem is that it is stuck in...
Been having a time trying to find a replacement motor. Can someone please let me know if this setup will bolt together and work. What problems will this cause, if any?
Possibly looking at changing the motor on my boat to one thats ready to go. Don't care much to mess with the one I have. Cn someone please tell me how big I can go? Has a 90 Force on it now. Can I go to a 115 or so? Thanks, Sean
Ok got the decarbing done last night. Changed the fuel filter and rechecked compression and seem to have less compression now than I did before the recarb. Top 100, center 100 and lower 60psi. Whats going on??? When I took it out the motor fired right up and idled great. Let it run for about 5...
Thanks for the help on the impeller question I inquired about last week. Got it installed and it is working great. New problem is that it is starting hard, backfiring occasionally, and dying several times while trying to start cold. Took it out the other day and got going with it and about 1/3...
Hello all. Here's my story.... Just bought a 93 Nitro with a 90force on it. Was told the motor had low compression. (Diagnosed by Bass Pro Shop) Got the boat home and started looking the motor over and it appears really clean and like it had low usage. Upon further tinkering realized that it...
