    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    I changed the pump diaphragm recently also, that should be ok. Ok I will test by removing the plug leads, that doesn't damage the coils? I have been always afraid of doing that and also to receive a shock. In my mind my the issue is a fuel issue, but as I rebuild the pump recently I just don't...

    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    Spark does jump 3/8" last time I checked, I can do it again to make sure nothing changed, I also cleaned carbs, how can I test if it is running with one less cylinder?

    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    I sprayed the back of the carbs and the intake manifold, spraying behind the lower carb right side looking from the carb side the motor starts to rev down, it didn't die but rev down, according to what Jerry told me that is bad seal that needs to be fixed, after that I retorqued the intake...

    Back into the 1989 85hp rebuild

    I have put the motor back together, I was very detailed in putting back the intake manifold, I checked to see if it was twisted but seems to be ok , I used double intake manifold gasket see if it improves the sealing, I had bad reed plates gaskets and didn't wanted to wait to order replacements...

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    I think the system works but it needs maintenance, if now the sensor is bad I would need either to fix that, change the reservoir or run with the sensor disabled, in the last scenario then I will have to think and remember about oil level anyways I still need to find out what exactly is what is...

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    If what is triggering the alarm is this sensor I will disconnect it as well, that is one more reason of my doubts about this oil mixing system.

    What Is this alarm? Mercury 2001 125hp

    Ok... According to a YouTube video it should be overheating or oil sensor, I don't think it was overheating I saw good water flow and can touch the block, oil reservoir was full maybe the sensor is badi will have to inspect to be sure.

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    the other thing I figured out is that backing up slowly is the fastest way, do all adjustments needed in one move to say it some way, I've seen people doing it fast and they backup realizes they are in bad possition and then get out of the ramp/parking lot completely to adjust possition and try...

    1974 Chrysler 135 hp limping

    Nice find! It amazes me the deals you can find on outboard in the US, I'm located in Mexico the main market of marine stuff here is in the coasts and most of the outboards are run until they completely die, in my last trip to the beach I asked a couple fishermen where I could find a good used...

    Inspecting 2002 Tracker 125 HP Outboard

    I really don't want to start messing around in this motor, system seems to work, I was just wondering if maybe just premixing the gas was possible with out bypassing or doing anything to this system.

    Inspecting 2002 Tracker 125 HP Outboard

    This motor has the oil mixing system, i have read that It Is a controversial discussion if this is reliable or not, I personally don't like the idea this might fail someday with out notice and screw up the whole motor, I have seen some videos on YouTube of people bypassing the system but I...
