Boscoe; I would certainly agree. Every other motor I've ever had liked to be pulled hard and fast. The harder and faster the better! Get that fuel sucked up where it needed to be.
These four strokes though have a compression release of some sort. I can tell when I spin the drill. At lower...
Well....I have a "new to me" 2020 Mercury 20hp EFI that runs 100% but challenging to start. It's not electric start.
If I use a drill it starts immediately.....and it seems to start better if I run the drill slowly. Interesting.
That leads me to think that I should apply the same technique to...
Hello,
Lots of OMC coil conversions on the older Phelon mags....but how about the newer versions? Has anyone done this? Surprisingly little to no information on anyone even attempting this. The newer Phelon coils ( 398-2568T-1) are NLA and essentially unavailable new. I am seeing more...
That is an ESKA; one of their few water-cooled varieties. It is either rated at 9.9 or 15 HP depending on the carburetor and prhaps some other variables.
One word of caution: :NEVER rope the motor over with the spark plug wires de-tached. The ignition module is VERY sensitive to that and...
Values vary so much depending on your location. Out by me where 2-strokes are banned on many of the lakes......it wouldn't bring much compared to other areas.
Hello all.....
I just acquired a nice Suzuki DT25 S/N
D-13792
I'm intrigued by the ignition; there is no mechanical adjustment of the mag-plate fir timing. No link-n-synch or any of the usual linkages that adjust timing as the throttle is advanced. The twist grip connects with a simple...
Hi,
I would like to have a parts manual for this engine....and specifically I would like to know the part numbers OR THE DIMENSIONS of the upper and lower crankcase seals.
Help anyone?
Thanks!

Hello....
Today I had the pleasure of going over a Tohatsu 2.5 engine....circa 1983 Model M2.5A 314.
I was all set to replace the fuel lines (this one has the factory fuel pump; no integral tank.
I happened to notice that there is a brass restrictor inserted in the fuel line that runs...
Hello....
Can anyone tell me the procedure for setting the carburetor linkage? I am assuming that the scribe mark on the mag-plate cam is a reference and should mark the spot on the cam that should make first contact with the carb-linkage follower.....but when I set it that way the carburetor...
Hello....
Can someone tell me the typical resistance I should have in the primary and secondary windings of these Prestolite coils?
My coils are original part nuimbers #FWM-1038 (top) and FWM-2500 (bottom).
Also; can anyone explain why there are different part numbers for each of the...
Hello all....
I just acquired a pretty rough Martin 60. In giving it the once-over...I couldn't help but wonder if the lower unit was a TD-20 OMC. It sure looks similar. Anyone know?
Otherwise....any links to Martin stuff would be appreciated. I already have been to the Larson site.....'...
Hello there....
I have the typical three-point puller and the flywheel has the three tapped holes....so all would seem to be well.
However; the way the flywheel is "submersed" into the housing that surrounds it....I see no way to use a strap wrench.
So.....how is it typically done? I...
I just got a 1966 Johnson MQ-12....short shaft. The leg is removed from an un-completed impeller replacement episode. The motor came with this gasket and plastic tube; neither of which looks familiar. I've looked over the parts diagrams and remain puzzled.
Does anyone recognize what they...
ok....thanks for reading.
It's a 1978 Merc 4.5 s/n5071724.
As with most Mercs of this vintage it needs new ignition wiring....and that's what I'm doing.
Question: Underneath the coil...there is a short braided wire that goes nowhere. Should it be grounded? I would assume so.....but it...
