    Differences between 88-92 Merc Four cylinders….

    Hello all. I’m not much of a Merc guru by any stretch of the imagination, and this question is for those who are knowledgeable in the area.

    Nissan NS40D oil pump issues

    I'm working on an NS40D outboard. The complaint is excessive oil leaking from above the lower unit. It is leaking two stroke lubricant from the exhaust, which is in turn leaking out onto the ground. The engine starts, runs, but smokes excessively. My question is what is the procedure for...

    Tohatsu 9.9 carburetor help! PLEASE!

    Ok, this is a new one for me, as I've never had this happen to me before. I'm presently working on a 2015 Merc Pro Kicker 9.9 4 stroke (Tohatsu built) outboard.

    Powerhead Rebuild Kits or parts for BF130 (BZBH-1300341)?

    Does anyone sell powerhead rebuild kits for these, or piston kits? I have one that the cylinders have a tad bit of ridge at the tops of the cylinders. I haven't tore it completely down yet to measure how far out of whack they really are, but with a ridge on top, I'm sure it can't be good...

    I've got a driveshaft from a long shaft 2005 BF130 and the shift shaft for the same gearcase if anyone needs them. It's the driveshaft that has the two tapered roller bearings facing opposite directions under the water pump. I just took this case apart because the case itself was pretty well...

    81 Johnson 9.9 with a drinking problem

    I've got one in the shop that I've got trouble figuring out. It's a rebuilt 81 9.9 that has 30 over pistons, the 15 exhaust, and HAD Boyesen reeds in it. The guy brings it to me because he'd just had the work done to it this past spring. When he was running it, the thing suddenly lost RPM, then...
