    F9.9 CMH 2008 Yamaha Ticking noise.

    This occurred to me today. The bulb lit. I thought of something. Usually I assume the answer or look it up or ask in theses forums. As the motor warms up I get a ticking from what I have assumed was the valve lash or to do with the rocker assembly or at least valve related. I thought to take off...

    older Mercury 7.5HP 2 stroke 1977 and other years carburetor venturi question.

    Within the throat of some of the older Mercs is the plastic venturi part. Looks like a gun scope or something. I was wondering what effect they do have and what is the effect of leaving them out . They are a pain in the butt to install.Thank you in advance for your replies.

    Roller to bunk . Carpet needed or ?

    My trailer rollers are going bye bye. Salt water has taken its toll. I am pretty good about rinsing it but time and salt has taken its toll on the rollers and hardware. I am in San Diego, around here most trailers use bunks not rollers. The launch ramps are such that rollers are not necessary in...

    96 Evinrude 50 Hp Shifting problem

    I have this motor which is baffling me. It runs great but the shifting from gear to gear is out of whack. It may be the shift rod height needs to be adjusted or it maybe something else. I thought to ask before pulling the lower unit off.. I may need to edit my description of the issue as...

    2001 Suzuki 115 . Bad intake valve.

    I am being offered the above motor for several hundred dollars. I was surprised when I looked up the book value on this motor was quite low. The top cylinder has 125, the lower three are at about 250 pounds. A leak down test was performed that showed the intake valve on the # 1 cylinder was...

    Evinrude 60TLERV 1994 What is the cause of a rusty drive shaft

    I am replacing the impeller and checking the lower unit. LU was a bit more difficult to remove than usual. Bolts toward the back were about frozen .

    Replacement calipers for my trailer

    Has anyone used an automobile caliper on their trailer. I have been using the K brand 225 calipers for quite a while now. But like any caliper getting dunked in salt water they seize up. I am pretty meticulous about rinsing them but a short layover and they start to seize up. So as long as I...

    Trim not working while underway 1995 150ELEOM

    Trim and tilt seem to work OK on the driveway. Sometimes there is a slight hesitation when the switch on the cowl is activated. It may do so a bit more from the binnacle control. While underway from the binnacle the switch located there does not work. It works on the driveway when the motor is...

    red primer knob for electric solonoid 1997 50 HP Electric Start

    Found the service valve(the red knob on the solonoid) to be cracked. When I prime to start fuel would shoot out even though it was a hairline crack. Would this affect the idle? Would air be sucked through ? Could not get a smooth consistant idle by messing with the air/fuel adjustment but seems...

    Pipe Dope on the TT cylinder and cap.

    Dont judge me too hard on this. My question is straight up. I replaced the seal and scraper on my tilt trim cylinder. I assembled it and they do not leak. However I did not replace, I reused the O ring on the cap. Now I have a new leak. It is coming between the cylinder and the cap. The O ring I...
