Hey guys!
Yet another question for all you Merc Gurus!
While I have the beast on the workbench with powerhead off, I want to make sure everything on the motor is in great condition. The motor ran before, but as you may have seen from my other post, she was gettin a little water in number 3 so I'm replacing water jacket and exhaust cover gaskets.
However, when the motor did run it took lots of effort to start, even after the fuel system rebuild. I had heard on another post that sometimes these inlines can be made to start like fuel injected motors if the reed cages are sealed to the case with yamabond. Is this a fact, if so how difficult of a repair would this be?
I would like to get this ol inline as reliable and good running as possible as I intend to keep her for a while.
thanks in advance guys!
