I just bought a used 2000 NR with Mercury Sport Jet 175 Serial#0E371792. It has 170 hours on it. I've put 2 hours on it with no problems. It starts with 1st turn of the key, idles great & runs smooth.
Put gas in it the other day for the first time with no mixture (since it is oil injected), then took it out and it ran fine for 2 miles, shut it off to use the kicker and when I tried to start it to head for the dock, it wouldn't turn over, won't even try to crank. Thought the battery was dead, had it tested and it's at full charge. Then thought it might be the starter, but it also tests good. Took out the spark plugs and water came out the bottom plug on both sides. When I hook up the external water source, it flows out of the bottom cylinders as fast as it goes in. There was no indication that I had a problem until it wouldn't start (no alarms sounded and it ran great).
Is this a blown head gasket, Do I have a cracked block, what could it be?? I should get an alarm if it was overheating and I didn't. If it was a cracked block, would I get water on BOTH sides and how??
Your advice is much appreciated!!! THANK YOU!!! |

Maybe the manifold failed. Like an I/O. |
