A friend of mine brings me his boat the other day to see if I can fix it but I'm stumped. He had it at a shop and they thought it was the stator but I don't know how you would test it. He says the boat won't propel itself very well in the water. So when I got it I couldn't get it to fire and...
Today I was out on the lake fishing and when I went to head back to shore I started my boat and began to head in when all at once it started to loose power and died. I primed it up again and it took off only to do the same thing 50yds later. I had my buddy prime it up again and he had to keep...
About a week ago I tried starting my boat and the starter wouldn't engage the flywheel so I tapped on the starter with a hammer and then it worked. I tried to start it again and same thing happened by the 3rd go around the started completely stuck wide open and I couldn't get it to shut off and...
I would like to put bigger jets in my m900 carbs to make it a 115hp motor but not sure on which jet to get. Can anyone help me out. Is it a .074 jet I need?
1978 90 hp merc motor. I just changed my water pump in my boat and when I had it on the hose I realized the prop turns all the time even in neutral. I just put this motor on my boat so could it be that something isn't hooked up right or it's out of adjustment? If so what should I check? Thanks
I can't remember what yr this motor is maybe a 78-79 not sure. My motor doesn't pee when it idles but if I speed it up it will start to pee. I blew compressed air into the hole to make sure nothing was obstructing. Is the impeller going out. I was thinking I sucked up sand in it but I just put...
I have a motor that could use a few parts but the ID tag is gone from the side. is there anyway to figure out the year of it? I came up with 1966ish just by searching the parts catalog on here but want to know for sure before I order parts. thanks
I recently bought a boat from a guy and I can't get it started. So far I've checked compression which is anywhere from 100-90psi. I took the carbs apart and did a quick spray down with carb cleaner and without replacing or taking any parts out of the carb. If I spray a shot of carb cleaner in...
Can someone look at this link and tell me what's missing from the head on this motor please?

I need to remove all the pinstripe and decals off a boat and was wondering the best and quickest way to do it. I have a decal removal wheel from aircraft spruce but it's taking some time to do it all. I have half the boat done on one side and the wheel is 1/2 gone. I have a wide stripe I'm...
