    What year Mercury?

    Looking at 9.8 mercury or 9.9 depending on years. Are there any particular years that were just really bad motors? I know the Evinrude 9.9 and 15hp 74-76 were not the best years. Thx

    1982 Evinrude 7.5 carb or fuel pump?

    Hey guys, 1982 7.5. Motor idles great, but when I try to give it full throttle, it dies. Will not start back until I open choke. Pulled carb cleaned everything. Put carb back on and motor is doing same thing? What could be wrong?

    1976 Evinrude 15hp. Upgrade exhaust cover?

    I have a 76 Evinrude 15hp. Water just comes out the back. Question, is it worth the trouble of putting an exhaust cover from a 77 on this motor just to have an actual tell tale? I think I have to take the powerhead off to get to the bottom bolt? Thx

    1982 Evinrude 7.5. Carb issue.

    Hey guys took a 7.5 Evinrude out today for a test run. It ran great for awhile, then as I was coming back to the dock at full throttle it died. It started back with choke on, but would die again if I tried WOT. Float issue?

    Fd-11 still won’t start.

    Ok guys, I’ve went through this motor over and over. Great spark, great compression, getting fuel to carb. Just won’t start. Took motor to friend of mine who works on a lot of bigger motors. He’s thinking it could be an air leak in carb or missing a lead shot? Anyone have pics of an 18 hp...

    Fd-11

    Hey guys, as you know I’ve been working on an FD-11. I know the gas mixture is 24:1. My question is I have some 50:1 for my 76 Evinrude. Could I use the 50:1 just to see if it’s going to start. Really didn’t want to mix a whole gallon of gas if it won’t run. Thx
