    Choke valve position cold engine

    Sorry for my lack of knowledge. What you mean with “dell”? So before starting to “adjust” settings it’s better to get it to temperature first?

    Choke valve position cold engine

    Right, I also noticed that the choke indeed tried to pop open a bit when the engine started even when I pushed it closed it really pushed back to slightly open.

    Choke valve position cold engine

    Hi, Today I started the engine, mercruiser 165HP from ‘70, for the first time since I bought the boat. Carb has been rebuilt. And still operating the choke manually I did put the choke in full closed position. Pulled the throttle 2x to inject some extra fuel. Engine started almost...

    Rebuild my choke to Electric. What with the "holes"

    AHA, yep, now it makes sense. There is a missing tube. Past night I closed both holes. And thanks for the info sharing.

    Idle setting Mercruiser 165HP

    So to be clear: the main rpm regulation is with the screw on the throttle lever and the 2 mixture screws are to make it run smoothly with that rpm setting.

    I’m referring to this extra hole (no idea why it’s there)

    Rebuild my choke to Electric. What with the "holes"

    I rebuild my Choke to an electric one, so I guess I can close the 2 holes on my manifold related to the old chocke system. Perhaps I better include this picture. In this picture you see the upper connection that I dont use anymore. But below this, theres another "hole" in the manifold.

    Rebuild my choke to Electric. What with the "holes"

    Hi, As my old choke was "missing" (the type that uses the exhaust gases) I installed an electric Choke. Of course on the manifold I have the tube that was connected to the old choke. I suppose I can close this off? But I also noticed an additional hole in the manifold below the other one (not...

    Idle setting Mercruiser 165HP

    Hi, Did the rebuild of my carb. On the forum I saw the suggestion to start with 1.5 turns outward for the Idle screws (I have 2 on my carb 7040110). Now my question is: I also have the screw for idle setting (the one linked to the trottle) that sets the "close" position of the 2 valves. How...

    Trim Limit setting. 20deg?

    Hi, Just re-installed my MC1 sterndrive on the boat. The Trim-sensor was just a dummy (also no gauge in the boat). But there was a Trim-limit switch that was "bridged". So would like to put it back as it should. I read somewhere that a 20° - 25° angle is the max you should go while boating (to...

    Advice on Removal of manifold Mercruiser.

    But you're right. Still a risk that water can enter oil or vice versa. The original oil was milky :-(. But no clue at all how long it was in the engine.... We will see

    Advice on Removal of manifold Mercruiser.

    I believe to also saw a drain plug on the end of the elbow. Could this be right? For the moment I am aware of 2 drains. The one on block (in the back) and also one on the bottom backside of the manifold.

    Advice on Removal of manifold Mercruiser.

    Okay, I know what to do. And I'm really interested to see why it has 2 clamps on each side. Related to the crack, I saw it was repaired before and some water is leaking. Did compression test on all 6 cyl and measurements seemed fair to me. So I hope its just the water circuit.
