    5.0 LX 1987 mercruiser starter problem

    Thanks Rick for discussing my issues. First thing, I do not like 1-2 tooth contact, no gear is designed like, obviously it works as long as there is no hydro lock. It will be sheared of with hydro lock due to inertia effect. It should just stop turning crank with no damage unless a different...

    Learning something new every day. Damn, have to change the manifolds and risers too. Still Do not know why. Don't they just have water jackets casted in them to separate exhaust from water and gaskate between them? Are you saying that cast iron wall between exhaust gas and water totally rusts...

Motor runs, oil level is ok, took it apart and changed all the seals and o-rings and still does the same thing for tilting up. Also, even oil level is fine, oil is...
