    Auto Blend service manual

    It was a case of unfortunate timing. I remember the 80s, I changed a lot of mechanical fuel pumps when alcohol was added to the gas. The diaphragms were being destroyed. By the time the industry came out with an alcohol compatible diaphragm, Mercury had shifted to a crankshaft driven mixer that...

    Auto Blend service manual

    I got the manual in the mail this last weekend. I was surprised that the auto blend was covered, since it's a stand alone item, used with a great many engines. It does have some valuable information, though. The diaphragm is susceptible to deterioration due to the alcohol in today's fuel. That's...

    I'm not sure how improper maintenance due to a lack of information is helpful, but thanks for the good wishes anyway.

    Such a tremendous amount of hate over a request for information! Remember what your mama told you about saying nothing at all. And remember that it's my motor, not yours. Is there anyone out there who has the maintenance requirements schedule? I would truly appreciate it!

    And since this is a request for information, perhaps you can tell me exactly what the service procedure is? That would be very helpful!

    Auto Blend service manual

    I just ordered a spare diaphragm for mine. The factory filter is nice and all, it bolts in place, but it's not the only option. Any inline filter will work just fine.

    Auto Blend service manual

    The Auto Blend is a unit that goes between the gas tank and the motor. It mixes the oil at 50:1 before it gets to the motor. Most people have never serviced them, hence the bad reputation. There's a diaphragm that needs to be inspected every year, and a fuel filter that needs attention. They...
