I noticed a bit of brown around some of the spots on the board of the regulator. This is under the green gel like coating. I was wondering if this could be the cause of some of the high RPM troubles I am having? Could the board be scorching? What could cause this browning? I just replaced the...
Ok so I am having trouble deducing what motor I have exactly. I have a 1996 Mercury 60hp ELHPTO serial number begins with 0G9566 and the rest starts to fade out. Problem is I can?t find a serial number listed on any site that goes past 0G5 something in the 1996 range. I have looked around to try...
My 1996 Merc. 60 is not maintaining power at high rpms. Last time out I took off in the morning and it ran like a champ the whole time until I got to where I wanted to fish, I mean scary fast! But after I was done (around 11:00am and it was hot! Like 100f) I fired it up and started out. It was...
Can any one tell me something about the spark advance on this outboard. I am unsure of the timing. There is a series of likages that trigger the advance as the carbs open and I wanted to insure that I am getting the best performace. Thanks.
I was just wondering where everyone does there fine tuning on there motors? I need to make some very fine adjustments to the carbs around 3000 Rpm?s with resistance on the prop. I can?t really do this underway since I would be bumping and bouncing around so I wanted to know if anyone had a...
So I was testing out my new to me 16? Skeeter last weekend at the local water hole with the wife. We had just got on plane and were scooting rite along when my wife leans back to me and said ?what the hell is that hanging from the bow of that boat?. I finally get in close enough to see two...
My 60hp seems to be suffering when i throttle up (sluggish/hesitates). Question one: should this moter be able to get a 16' Skeeter on plane, cuz it won?t. Number two: it may be jetted for low altitude as the original owners had it in Arkansas but I now run it in Colorado (aprox. 4500'+), think...
I have seen some outboard motors with a round metal plate mounted directly behind the prop. It mounts exactly like a troling plate. This is what i believed it to be but it has a hole in the center of it. Just wondering if any one can shed any light on this device and its uses.
