    Question about oil pump block off plugs

    Okay Guys, I ordered the oil pump block off kits from racer rick's as you recommended. By the way, the shipping was 1/3 of the total cost. Two block off kits approx $12 each - shipping approx $11. <br /><br />I just bought a lift motor that came all the way from Washington state. Shipping was...

    Please explain exhaust ports

    I'm wondering about the two little exhaust ports in the back of the engine. If the engine exhaust comes out through the prop, what is the purpose of the other two exhaust ports up near the powerhead? Also, why, on some engines, does water spray out of them, and on others, it doesn't? <br /><br...

    Got any idea what this goes to?

    Engine flushing

    I keep my boat in the water (saltwater) and raise the engines when I'm not using them. I flush them when after I use them through a garden hose fitting in the back of the engine.<br /><br />I've always felt that this method is inadequate. And if it's good enough, which is the best way to flush...

According to my parts manual, one end of the wire attaches to a terminal block, and the other end goes up into the wiring harness for the engine. I checked the other engine and...

    Removed Oil Injection System

    Okay, I decided to lose the oil injection system and premix. One thing I noticed immediately was the difference in power while accelerating to WOT - especially on the engine that had lots of oil (or fuel and a lot of oil) draining from the carbs after shut down. <br /><br />I can only think that...

    Gas draining from carb with engine off

    Can someone help me figure out why, after running my engine, gas drains from the barrel of the carbs? It's as if it's still being pump to the carbs even after the engine is switched off. It makes a real mess in my boat.<br /><br />97 Mercury 175<br />Carbureted, Oil Injected<br /><br />Thanks...

    Disconnecting/Removing Oil Injection System

    I am having one headache after another with my oil injection system. Can anyone point me to a web location that explains how to disconnect/remove it? <br /><br />Mixing has got to be better than the troubles I've been having with this thing.<br /><br />Thanks, Michael
