The recoil is taken off right now and will be able to figure that one out.
The motor. I put the flywheel nut on just to turn it and there is no kickback or anything but the pistons move up and down. Pistons look really oily. Is this maybe a bad ring problem?
ya the recoil failed for some dumb reason and doesn't retract but now my main concern is that I had about 100 compression before but now if I turn the flywheel by hand it turns with very little resistance. The prop turns while i do this and pistons move in and out.
So I went out and tried this morning and pulled her a few times and no start but now, the pull start came apart and feels like I have no compression like I broke something? there is little resistance when I turn the shaft and propeller moves when I do. The pistons still go up and down. Any idea...
That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I must be seeing the stops and the reeds are probably good then. I haven't learned much about reeds yet nut probably should. I forgot that I ordered new coils last fall along with a tester like the one you showed here and maybe try the new coils to see if I...
so looking down the crankshaft, the reeds must be almost touching the round pieces correct? and if they look like bending up, what does that mean please?
I have tried spraying premix into the carb along with ether, I know that’s bad but nothing happens at all. I’ve also been using an online spark tester and I do get spark.
I took the carb apart, soaked it and then cleaned it all up, motor doesn’t even try to start. I have a bowl full of fuel, compression and spark, plugs are still dry tho so no idea. Was thinking maybe the reeds but like I said I don’t see them behind the carb.
I’m not sure why they say the reeds are behind the carb on this one, I believe they are under the flywheel. Upon looking they look like not sitting flat but trying to find the manual to look this up.
I was wondering if someone could help me please. I have a 1986, 110, 9.8 mercury outboard. It’s been sitting a very long time but I have spark, carburetor has been soaked in gunk and completely cleaned but I still have no wet spark plugs. Plugs have been replaced as well. Any help here would be...
After looking, the name plate does say it is made in Canada. I was trying to find out how to service the latches on pull start cause mine don't catch every time, wasn't sure if they need lubrication or have to be dry.
