Hi, my name is Steve and I'm a Mercury outboard restoration junkie.
My latest fools errand is a 1993 V135 that runs at idle but won't accelerate. I'm picking it up tonight site unseen for $600.00. The fellow that has it only lives a few miles from me and in a neighborhood that I once lived. All is good and he's willing to start the engine for me if I want.
Worst case scenario, I part it out. There are a few NLA parts on it.
Watch this thread to see how the saga of the Merc addict and his engines turns out!
Oh shoot, if this engine runs then I'll have three engines and only one boat.. We'll just have to do something about that! Watch the boat resto thread for my 09-10 winter boat project. It just might be a Toon!
