    Idle problem 115 2+2

    Thanks for reply, I got it on muffs now (ran for 10 minutes) and can't see anything wrong. It is running great, in gear and out. the idle problem happened instantly while in water on 3 day trip. I will be checking unit oil, The gear slap I think was from the engine being off for 3 cylinders...

    Idle problem 115 2+2

    Started having idle problems. so bad the gears were slapping noisy. It ran great above 1200 rpm. I sure am suspecting an idle port blockage on 1 of the 2 carbs that have those ports. Is there anything else I should consider? what 2 carbs have those idle ports, and how should I clean them?

    New lower unit for my merc 115 4 cyl need shift shaft upgrade

    New lower coming from SEI. My merc had the 3 jaw reverse. SEI said I had to upgrade shift shaft, it means I must pull powerhead. Merc is not corroded at all. I have a lift tool. Any thoughts on anything I should do while powerhead is up?

There was no damage without motor running. With running.. 4 shifts and lockup. This has now cost me a fishing trip this weekend...

    1993 115 4 cyl 2 stroke 2 shift dogs 2 years

    Cam #4 is not broken out like the rest, but has a pressure dimple in middle of groove at reverse position where the others broke. this time the point of the shift pin is gone. I do not force shift. If I feel it is not aligned, I spin the prop with my foot. Is there a spec for how much pressure...
