    Fuel and Trim senders

    Got my tach replaced and it is working after my gages got fried from disconnecting the battery while the outboard motor was running to shutoff the starter motor which would not disengage due to it staying charged with 12volts. Stuck solenoid due to an old battery and a low charge. Anyways...

    1988 Mercury 90hp 3 cylinder spark

    If I hook up a spark tester to my 3 cylinder 90hp mercury outboard and get a great spark at 7/16" gap test does that indicate that my stator, switchbox, coils and rectifier are all working as they should? I figure that all these components lead to spark to the plugs so if I am jumping a 7/16"...

    1988 Mercury 90hp 3 cylinder charging

    Can someone tell me what kind of voltage I should get coming out of the rectifier to the battery? I just bought a new battery and installed a radio shack rectifier because I suspected mine was bad after testing it. I replaced the stator a year ago along with the switchbox. I am getting up to...

    1988 90hp Mercury 3cylinder Outboard, 0B302485

    Hope someone can give me direction. I am not sure where the long beep went after I turn on the ignition key initially on my throttle assembly. It used to be that when I turned the key to on, not start, I would get a long beep initially. Not sure exactly what that was for, but it always worked...

    1988 90hp ignition switch

    Serial number is 0b302485. Can someone tell me why when I turn the ignition switch to start the outboard the starter does not disengage when I let go of the key? I replaced the starter solenoid about one year ago. It would not disengage at times even after just replacing the solenoid.

    Spark Plug Wire Resistance reading

    Dear Forum, OK, I finally got one plug wire out of the coil side. My question now is, what kind of resistance should I read through the plug wire. It is about 7-8 inches in length. I had to reinstall the piece that plugs into the coil side, the brass metal clamp. I stick my ohm meter leads...

    90hp 3cylinder Mercury Outboard Spark Plug Wire Coil Side

    Dear Forum, Can anyone tell me how to get the coil high tension lead out of the coil? Maybe it is all one piece with the coil and that is why I am having a world of trouble removing it from the ignition coil? I dont want to tug too hard or twist it in case it is built right into the coil...
