What do I need to do first? I know I need to clean the carbs, replace the impeller, and lubricate everything. What is the eaisest way to clean the carbs? What else to I need to do? How should I run ratio of the gas? I own a 1972 Mercury 85 hp "thuderbolt" <br /><br /> Thanks,<br />...
I have a 1972 Mercury 85 hp and the trim won't move my motor. The thing that all my hoses go to reads "Reverse..." On my dash it says up, out, in. When you hit the trim buttons the hydrolic motor makes a sound but it doesn't sound like its pumping fluid. How do you trim fluid in and where?<br...
Just bought a boat with a 1972 Mercury 85 horespower with "thunderbolt". How do you get to the water pump? or remove the lower casing? How hard is this job? And do I need the impeller kit?<br /><br /> Thanks,<br /> Chris<br /> cfinkbe@aol.com
