    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    Maybe you can hear in the videos what it sounds like. How would I go about getting them unstuck if possible?

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    Anybody think I should take to a professional. I might still be able to make some money from it if I get it running. Only have $200 invested

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    I have compression. Last night when it was darker I could see bright spark in tester and on plug itself. I used a dva to measure voltage from spark plug wire. I got 65 vdc when pulling cord. I'm older and that's the best I could pull it. I have never had it running as a friend gave to me to get...

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    I totally agree with you. That's what I don't understand, I take the plug out and ground it and pull cord and I get blue spark. I am going to wait until dark tonight and check again. Hard to do things without a helper.

    Mercury 5 HP 4-stroke won't start

    I actually have a Tohatsu MFS5C. New carb, fuel pump, spark plug. Spark is strong. I spray fuel into spark plug hole, put plug back in. Pull cord and nothing, doesn't even fire up once. Same with start fluid. Flywheel never removed so I don't think it can be timing issue. I did ohm test on...

    Key switch wiring to 2005 Mercury 9.9 4-stroke

    Finally got it to work. Turned out to be an insufficient ground.

    Key switch wiring to 2005 Mercury 9.9 4-stroke

    The above motor was set up for electric remote start but I didn't get harnesses or key switch with it. I replaced solenoid. I got a harness but not sure if it is for Mercury, even though description and part # is same. Has 7 pins. See pic. Got a key switch asy. There is no yellow/red wire on...

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    I found a brown wire that turns to green which then goes to solenoid. My thumb is covering the brown wire. I wonder if someone hasn't changed it. Anyways I am thinking you are right but I haven't been able to test yet because it is about to start pouring rain here in Florida. I will let you know...

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    Motor was converted to remote control, no tiller arm or wires. I understand how kill wiring works, but there is no black yellow kill wire anywhere. I'm trying to figure out why no spark.coil and stator ohm tests

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    SD ok okay ko I can't start the motor, no spark so I was going to disconnect kill wire to eliminate that causing a problem. But there are none.

    No black/yellow kill wire on 9.9. 4-stroke

    Checked it out. I know the color code. Problem is that there are no kill wires at all
