    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    I installed the new Hose (with clamps) as well as 4 new Spark Plugs gapped to Spec. Yesterday I test ran it with muffs and it started up & ran well (only for a minute). Then we dropped it in the Lake, and as per the manual, I had it idle for 15 minutes to force any bubbles out of the oil in the...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    Hi Gents, Thanks for the tips. This engine gets very limited hours each year. I'd guess 10-20 annually. Definitely the Hoses have reached their lifespan. The Stator was replaced a while ago and seems to be working fine. As stated earlier, I changed the fuel filter a season or two ago. I did...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    A little more digging and I'm pretty sure the first photo is of the Fuel Pump area and the damaged hose was connected to Check Valve F where it gets mixed with the incoming fuel before it goes into the Fuel Pump. Hopefully, I can replace this hose and be back on the water soon. Hopefully I...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    I found a Manual (not the same one as I remembered). But from it I determined the second device is the oil pump. "B" is the inlet hose that I replaced some time ago with the SS Clamp in the 2nd photo. And "A" is the bleed screw to let the air out of the pump - which is quite visible from the...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    They certainly are brittle. I wish I had my Mercury Manual (PDF) with me so I could figure out exactly what the devices are, but the bottom one (at first glance) looks like part of the oil lubrication injection system. Notice the stainless hose clamp on another input hose that I replaced a...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    I appreciate the prompt response. I know a little more in situ troubleshooting could have helped get to the diagnosis. I did not check the Bulb for collapse at the time of failure but afterwards it was fine. While I was waiting on a response I took the cover off and started looking around. And...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP 2 Stroke Starving?

    Hi Folks, I'm posting again about a new issue. I have a 1992 Mercury 100 HP => S/N 0D129908 with low hours that's always been kept indoors mounted on it's 1991 17 foot Larson All American; except when it's on the water (fresh of course). My brother owned the boat before me, and it was his...

    Nauticus Smart tabs vs Bennett Self Leveling Trim Tabs?

    Hi Gents, I forgot I hadn't tidied up this thread, and finished reporting on what went down. Last year I did get my Buddy to buy a Hydrofoil suitable for his engine. Then he procrastinated for the rest of the year and never got it mounted. This year we went Lake fishing in June with his lake...

    35 HP - Never had Charging even though it's electric Start? Is this possible??

    Hi Guys, I'm back at Paul Lake (with the Misses this time) but still looking for the Mercury Owners & Service Manual for my Buddy. This 35 HP seems to be only made for a short time and a free Service Manual (part # 90-42794--1 / 690) is hard to find.

    35 HP - Never had Charging even though it's electric Start? Is this possible??

    Thanks @boscoe99 . The parts pages certainly indicate this should be capable of charging: Now I have the Model 1035312GD Serial# 0C145285 A Site I looked at said: A "0" in front of the serial number is not significant, it's a placeholder only for Mercury's software. The Lund 16 Rebel SS...

    35 HP - Never had Charging even though it's electric Start? Is this possible??

    @jimmbo Thanks for noticing the Charging Stator, I didn't see that in the parts list. I did notice the rectifier and realized that should be in the charging circuit if there is one. Is there any way to tell what is installed on this engine from the serial number? I'm still looking for the...

    35 HP - Never had Charging even though it's electric Start? Is this possible??

    Hi Gents, I'm up in the BC interior fishing with my buddy on his boat. He's got a 35 HP Merc 2 Cycle with electric start, but he claims it came (used to him ages ago) with Electric Start but no Alternator for charging the battery. So we are charging the batteries at night on day 2. It's serial...

    1992 Mercury 100 HP -Inline Fuel Filter

    Gents, just an FYI that the new Quicksilver 35-816296Q-2 fit with the original gas lines today.

    1992 Mercury 100 HP -Inline Fuel Filter

    I decided to see if I could get an OEM Filter in Kamloops but the local authorized Mercury shop didn't have anything in stock. He did say the Mercury part number is 8M0207786. Some folks cross reference this to #14991 or #18206001 or #14687A2 or #14687A4 depending who I talked to; or what...
