    1984 Mercury 115 6cyl

    Out on lake yesterday, motor running great. Running at a steady 4400 rpm and motor starts missing and breaking up badly. Throttle down and idles and runs fine. Accelerate again, and motor runs great to 2500 rpm then starts missing badly and loses power. Carbs were rebuilt and synced, new fuel...

    Carb tune question

    When tuning my carbs, I have always adjusted to the best idle under load, and then opened them up another 1/8-1/4 turn. Question is, how do you know that you aren't a little too rich?

    Carb Linkage

    1984 Mercury 115 inline six I have gone through a link and sync and have a question: When the carb linkage is adjusted so the carbs hit the full throttle stop at the same time, they all three don't go back to the idle stops on the carb, and if I adjust it so they all three are on their idle...

    Fuel line

    I'm thinking of removing the fuel quick connect on my Mercury 115 and just going with a solid line from the squeeze ball to the fuel pump, to eliminate any potential problem from air leaks. Any negatives to doing this? The only problem I see, is how I would seal the entrance to the cowl. Thanks

    Intermittent miss 1984 115

    I have an intermittent miss on all three of the cylinders coming off my lower switch box (2,4,6). While hooked up to an inductive timing light there is a stutter of sorts on all three. I ordered a CDI dva adapter and it is scheduled to be delivered later this week, but I thought I would throw...
