I am not getting the proper recharge from my motor. I have a 1985 115hp What do I need to replace to get it to charge my battery? I think I am getting a slight charge 12v charge, but after running my trolling motor for a while or if I idle the motor and run my trolling motor, the volts...
ok a couple of you smart guys advised me correctly on the 1985 powerhead swap onto my 1979 midsection and lower unit. Thanks, now I am trying to help someone else out.<br /><br />He has a 1971 I6, I have the 1979 (distributor) I6, will the 1979 I6 bolt right up in the place of his 1971 I6...
What temp should the pee stream get to? I ran her for about an hour at the lake and didnt even really feel luke warm. I have never seen anything like it, wondering if I have a problem, as I thought 115 hp 1985 Inline 6 would get warm, block is warm, but not hot. Is all good on this?
I have reviewed my SELOC manual and I cannot find the particulars on what the motor should be putting out as far as voltage goes. I have a fishfinder that shows the current volts, and with my 50hp 1985 model when running at normal cruising speed she would kick up to about 14 volts. Well this...
I just replaced my 79 90hp powerhead with the 85 115hp powerhead, what a difference in performance! Anyway, she starts, runs and Idles great, only one problem, the top carb if I idle her for any length of time 3+minutes, starts to drip fuel rather steady right out the front. The little black...
I just installed the water pressure gauge on my 115 hp I6. I installed a t connecton about 4 inches up from the tell tail. I am barely, if at all getting a reading on my gauge though. SHould I plug off the tell tail to get pressure? The T connector is fairly large as the hose is fairly large...
Does anyone know where/ who I need to contact as I have a 90hp powerhead, complete with wiring great compression 142-148 in all 6 cyls, I upgraded to a 115hp powerhead and no longer need my 90hp. Just wondering where I might be able to sell it or who to contact. Thanks
I just stumbled into a 1984 115hp powerhead complete with all wiring and carbs, supposidly just need to bolt up in place of my current powerhead. Here is my question, will the 1984 just bolt right up in place of my 1979 I-6? Will my cowlings still work or do I have to buy new cowlings?
Ok, I finally got the motor installed. I have a few questions though,<br /><br />1. If I turn the motor, fairly quickly from one side to the other, it will stall. I have checked all my connections and everything is good and tight. I ran her on the lake WOT and no problem as long as I dont...
I live in the Colorado Springs area in Colorado, and I am having a heck of a time finding a place or person that will work on a 79 90hp merc. I just bought one, and am bringing it here from texas. I was told that due to the elevation here in colorado that I needed to have the carbs adjusted...
Ok, I went fishing this weekend and what a frustrating experience. I can run the motor and man it runs like a raped date, just magnificent. But when I shut her off to drift or use the trolling motor it is 50-50 if she will start back up. There isnt any power going to the motor, I figure this...
Ok, I have decided to purchase the motor and now before I pick it up, I need to get the tach, tach wiring, and ensure the controls work. I have a 84 50hp merc now, no tilt/trim. Anyway will that control box work on the 90hp I6 mortor? Will any of the below parts work on the 90hp I6 1979...
