1992 Mercury 150 HP Motor Locked Down

[714R]

The oil injector line broke on the engine<br />the alarm went off, repaired the hose.<br /><br />Went trolling for about 45 minutes, got ready to leave. Took off and got full throttle, no alarm went of but motor shut off.<br /><br />Motor started up right after cutting off and then shut off again after speeding up to full throttle and never started up again.<br /><br />A fuel hose busted but the motor will not turn over.<br /><br />Could it be vapor locked?

Dang bruce, That could be beaucoup bad juju.<br />First thing to do is remove plugs and record what plug went where. Next get a good magnifing glass and examine plugs. See any little-bitty shiney "dropletts" of aluminum? Next try to turn over with flywheel nut. If you can turn engine, get pistons to TDC and shine a light into sparkplug holes. Get back to us and lettus know what ya found.<br /><br />g/luck & c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Sounds like it's siezed fromm lack of lubrication..... must have had air in the lines instead of oil

hooty, I pulled the plugs. I found metal on plug number 1 and looking in the spark plug hole,I saw a loose piece of metal in the number 1 cylinder. There were no metal flakes on any other plug. <br /><br />Let me know what you think.
