I have a 1983 70hp Johnson that I just bought and put on my boat. It would would run for a few seconds and die every time I started it. I went through fuel lines, fuel pump, and carbs.
The next time I cranked it I found that as soon as it would start to die I flipped the red primer switch to...
Hello..I'm wanting to change my boat trailer axle hubs from 4-Lug to 5-Lug, so i can put bigger wheels/tires on it. I'm thinking it's going to be a 1" axle, but of course I need to find out for sure before ordering new hubs.
The trailer is a late '80's 16' Dilly. I know I need to pull the...
Does anyone know where you can buy METRIC STAINLESS STEEL bolts besides online? I tried Lowes, Home Depot, auto parts stores, hardware stores. None of them sell 10mm x 1.25 stainless steel bolts:mad:! I need 14 of them for the head on my dt-85.
Just installed new water pump in my '87 DT-85. Now the shift rod is not shifting right in lower unit. We checked gear position, shift arm position at block, dropped lower unit and reinstalled several times. We unhooked shift control at block and shifted manually, same thing. Shift into FORWARD...
Hey there fellas. I bought a used '86 Suzuki DT-85. It has a SS prop that I'm trying to find the pitch on. I can't find ANY number stamp. Is there a way I can find out the pitch besides taking it to a prop shop? Thanks..
I just bought a Panther Model 25 tilt to use on my '89 Evinrude 40hp. Yes I know the Model 25 is for up to 35hp motors, but I want to see if I can make it work.
I cannot find the installation/user manual ANYWHERE. The main problem we are having is the bottom main panther bracket moves when...
Just bought a boat with '89 evinrude. Installed new water pump. Was running ok, but since the motor was sitting up for probably a year or so I figured the carbs needed going through. My brother cleaned the carbs, put the linkage, etc. back like it was. Now when we crank the motor it revs VERY...
Re: Rebuild Advice - Piston Pics - '86 Blackmax
We honed that cylinder this evening and it is real smooth. It was more like alum transfer, not gouging on the wall. I'm getting a gauge tomorrow to measure it.
Here is a pic of the wall before honing.
I finally tore down my '86 Blackmax to repair a cylinder w/low compression. The cylinder wall doesn't seem too bad, we're hoping to just hone it. This cylinder/piston is oversize, .015. The bottom ring is welded to the piston on one side. See pics. I'm thinking it overheated because of a plugged...
I'm trying to find out the make and size of a piston in my 1986 Mercury 150 XR2. It's hard to make out the info on top of the piston, but looks to be;
3209 HE29
"S" with maybe 3 letters above...This not an OEM piston.
Finally had a chance to work on my motor a little. Pulled the head to get a look at no 1 cylinder. I was told the motor was rebuilt before, and this piston isn't oem. I have no idea yet if it was bored before, but it will definitely need to be done now. Motor is a 1986 Merc 150 xr2.

I bought a boat recently with an '86 Merc XR2 and was told the no.1 piston was out. The first compression check showed 120psi on 5 cylinders and 6psi on no.1. After spraying the cylinder with DeepCreep a few times the compression has come up to 35psi. Today I ran some seafoam threw it and its...
