Had to take our Pontoon in to the dealer this morning. We Repowered our 1996 Fisher 200 Fish with a new Merc 60hp Command Thrust. It is idling VERY rough. So I didn't want to continue with the break in until it got checked out and fixed. Runs really smooth at any other throttle position other...
I just found out today that there is a Recall on Merc Four Stokes 60 - 115hp for the Idle Air Control Valves. My dealer didn't tell me the Model Years affected. Your dealer will have more info for you. Just passing this along.
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I've been trouble shooting this motor for a week or so now. It really has me scratching my head. It runs but it constantly back fires (lean sneeze) through the carbs. And the only way it will idle is if you feather the choke and leave the choke half pulled. It will...
Hello Everyone,
I can't seem to get this thing adjusted right. I have installed a brand new lower cable kit, and before I put the out drive back on the cable ran in and out nice and smooth. Both cables free play and travel is within spec. When I adjust the cables according to the...

Hello Everyone,
I just had a Mariner 40EL given to me. I know this is a yamaha produced outboard. But I need to narrow the year down so I can buy a few things it needs. I entered the serial number here on Marine Engine to look up some parts but nothing matched either way I entered it. So...

New to the Forum but have been buying parts here for a long time. I joined because this motor has me seriously stumped. I have rebuilt many many outboard carbs in my day but this one by far has me scratching my head. No matter what I do the bottom carb overflows fuel. I can...
