    Which Ignition Switch for Merc 5.0

    I am looking to replace the original ignition switch in my 2007 Sportcraft with a 5.0 mercruiser. The original is sealed and has no posts to attach wires to. Before I start cutting wires to connect a new one I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks, Brian in MI

    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    Checked compression before I bought the motor. Good spark. This issue is so random it is hard to figure out. I had days where it ran good for over 4 hrs before I quit fishing for the day. I am thinking of putting a clear line from the pump to carb so I can see the fuel flow (or not).

    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    One question. Can fuel pumps be bad randomly? The stalling out was very random last summer. Thanks, Brian

    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    Thanks for the reply! I am leaning on just going ahead and rebuild the pump. I can try it out in my backyard. The thing about this issue was it was random not good when trying to troll for walleyes!

    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    Pumping the bulb did not seem to matter. It was very random cutting out. One way I found to get it running was spraying starting fluid in the carb. It would start right up and stay running.

    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    I have a mid 80's 4.5 that stalled out a hand full of times last summer due to lack of fuel getting to the carb. I want to try replacing the fuel pump. I did check the filter and it was clean. Attached is a photo. I am hoping someone can steer me to the right part. Thanks, Brian in MI

    Random no crank on 5.0

    Thanks for the reply! Just to be sure you said in a previous post that my engine does not have a slave solenoid. If it does I sure can't find it! I just want to confirm. Also can you recommend an ignition switch. Thanks, Brian in MI
