    Gaskets

    I can't find gaskets for an old outboard. The question is instant gasket or gasket paper?. Instant gasket seems a bodge to me. Has anyone used it.

    1995 Suzuki DT4 fuel mixture ?

    Fuel to oil ratio for a suzuki 4hp 2 stroke. I've been using 50:1 but it smokes like hell and really boggy. Tried a new spark plug but made no difference. I wanted to try a different fuel mix but obviously don't want to damage the motor. I have a few 2 strokes and they are really revvy but this...

    Engine cuts out after 20mins then hard to start.

    Selva 170 9.9 cuts out after 30 minutes of use. I've started a new topic because I've sorted out the previous problem and now have a new one. The engine will run for around 30 mins then will cut out and is a pig to start. I don't think it's fuel as I've been right through the system and I...

    Outboard stalls when idling low rpm

    I've just got hold of an old selva 170 9.9 2 stroke. When started it will run fine if revved and works fine when in gear at revs. Sometimes it will tick over other times it stalls. I also noticed if you go out for a run as i slow down to low rpm it will stall. It starts back up fine. I was...

    I found a propeller on ebay which is off a Mastercraft Stars and Stripes using a ford 351. Would anybody know the shaft size this propeller fits to. I would think the shaft must be the same in all master crafts but I don't know hence the question.

    Propeller shaft taper

    How do you find out the taper on the propeller end of the shaft. The reason I ask is because I have a propeller I want to try out but it doesn't fit. Is there a way of working it out or will it be stamped on the shaft somewhere. Also the same for the propeller. If I can find out the taper size I...

    BMC 1500 diesel blowing oil out of the crankcase breather

    I have a bmc 1500 diesel in my fishing boat. After a run there is about 500ml of oil that has been blown out of the crankcase breather. I have a bottle to catch the oil so I can pour it back into the engine. If it's a calm day there isn't that much but the rougher it is the more comes out as the...

    mercury 110 9.8 hp low thrust drive underpowered

    I have I mercury 110 9.8hp. When the engine is used on the water the engine rpm doesn't match the speed. I was wondering if it's propeller slip the boat moves just slowly. I think I may have found a problem with the gearbox. When the engine is in reverse and the propeller is turned by hand it...
