    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    The piston rings are what give you compression correct? And if they’re bad could be why no compression. Would oily walls have anything to do with it?

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    The recoil is taken off right now and will be able to figure that one out. The motor. I put the flywheel nut on just to turn it and there is no kickback or anything but the pistons move up and down. Pistons look really oily. Is this maybe a bad ring problem?

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    ya the recoil failed for some dumb reason and doesn't retract but now my main concern is that I had about 100 compression before but now if I turn the flywheel by hand it turns with very little resistance. The prop turns while i do this and pistons move in and out.

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    So I went out and tried this morning and pulled her a few times and no start but now, the pull start came apart and feels like I have no compression like I broke something? there is little resistance when I turn the shaft and propeller moves when I do. The pistons still go up and down. Any idea...

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I must be seeing the stops and the reeds are probably good then. I haven't learned much about reeds yet nut probably should. I forgot that I ordered new coils last fall along with a tester like the one you showed here and maybe try the new coils to see if I...

    so looking down the crankshaft, the reeds must be almost touching the round pieces correct? and if they look like bending up, what does that mean please?

    I have been using a tester with a bulb. What do I have to look at for better spark?

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    I have tried spraying premix into the carb along with ether, I know that’s bad but nothing happens at all. I’ve also been using an online spark tester and I do get spark.

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    Ah ok then. I took the flywheel, trigger and bearing housing off, looked inside and (if I know what the reeds at) they don’t sit flat. Any ideas?

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    I took the carb apart, soaked it and then cleaned it all up, motor doesn’t even try to start. I have a bowl full of fuel, compression and spark, plugs are still dry tho so no idea. Was thinking maybe the reeds but like I said I don’t see them behind the carb.

    1986 Mercury 9.8 110 outboard

    I’m not sure why they say the reeds are behind the carb on this one, I believe they are under the flywheel. Upon looking they look like not sitting flat but trying to find the manual to look this up.

    I was wondering if someone could help me please. I have a 1986, 110, 9.8 mercury outboard. It’s been sitting a very long time but I have spark, carburetor has been soaked in gunk and completely cleaned but I still have no wet spark plugs. Plugs have been replaced as well. Any help here would be...

    1985 110Hp Mercury outboard

    After looking, the name plate does say it is made in Canada. I was trying to find out how to service the latches on pull start cause mine don't catch every time, wasn't sure if they need lubrication or have to be dry.

    1985 110Hp Mercury outboard

    Thanks guys! I do find it comical when people tell me to check the serial number when its right off the little plate below the mount, is there some other place on the motor with another plate that says serial number???

    1985 110Hp Mercury outboard

    Yes, I believe that it is a 9.9 Hp but says 110 on the side. It's not a very big motor.
