    1988 Volvo Penta Aq131 TRIM/TILT ISSUE

    Ok, I took off my trim/tilt unit 1.5 years ago, worked FINE. I just couldn't use as it was hitting the hull on boat. I just sold the unit to my buddy, and he can't get it to work??? He said he tried to just "put hot/ground" to the motor on the unit and couldn't get it to work? I remember that I...

    1994 Merc 25 HP

    Just bought a 25HP 1994. The top cylindar has 105 psi and the lower is 52 psi. Can "I" have the cylindar HONED OUT and new rings or am I going to have to find another entire top end? Runs rough, and seems like head gasquet not blown? Think it must be the piston/cyl? Any suggestions about trying...

    1962 40HP Gale (Johnson/Evinrude) Runs great but no power, and it's NOT fuel???

    I just rebuilt the carb, fuel filter, fuel pump, and STILL it starts, runs high RPM at IDLE, but yet when you put in gear/under load, it boggs like it's running on ONE CYL? It only has two cyln! LOL I think the only thing is the points, coil, and condensor? I have great compression, new plugs...
