    Mercury 4-stroke carb sync

    Hello, I just bought a 2002 triton with a Mercury 50 HP 4-stroke 4 cylinder. It sat for 2 years so I rebuilt the carbs. When I started it, it cranked right up. I took it to the lake and it ran okay for about 30 seconds at WOT and then shut down. I had a hard time starting it unless I put it in...

    2002 50 HP Four Stroke problem

    I recently purchased a boat that had a 2002 Mercury 50 HP 4-cyl 4-stroke EFI motor. I purchased it from an older gentlemen and it had been sitting for about 2 years. The cowling was always installed and the motor looks brand new. I doubt if it has 10 hours on it. It cranks strong with good...

    2003 250HP troubles

    I have a 2003 250HP OX66. Upon startup it seems to smoke more than normal. Also, at idle it is very rough and vibrates quite a bit. It is been using a high amount of fuel. My last trip at the lake I used 1/2 tank of gas to go about 15 miles at most of that was at lower RPMs ( I have a 50 gallon...

    Tell-tale nozzle

    I hope someone can help me. I have a 1992 Evinrude 150 Intruder. My tell-tale stream was plugged while at the lake so I took off the nut and the nozzle, o-rings, etc to clean them. The nozzle fell in the lake so all I have left is the plug that held it in. I can't find the nozzle or other parts...

    Throttle cable adjustment

    I have a 1978 Mariner 80 HP outboard. I have basically rebuilt the whole engine. The problem I am having is my throttle cable. My control handle moves over 1/4 of the way forward until it starts engaging the spark advance lever. By the time I am at full throttle the control handle is well below...

    Tilt/trim harness wiring?

    I hope someone can help me with this. I have a 1978 Mariner 80 HP outboard. I need help with how the wiring harness that plugs into the tilt/trim motor hooks up to the other end. I have an aftermarket tilt/trim switch on my control box handle. It has two pushbuttons on it, which I assume are...
