    2 Stroke Outboard Engine troubles low speed burp/thump.

    Can I do any damage by replacing fuel filter and and spraying some carb cleaner (chlorinated) into carbs in hopes that it gets me through when mechanics get slow enough to be willing to work on my old motor.

    2 Stroke Outboard Engine troubles low speed burp/thump.

    Ok motor sat for 10 years, started and was running great for a motor that sat for 10 years. But now as the gunk must be breaking free it started as slight bog on low speed acceleration and occasional burp in neutral. The burp was the most concerning. Only noticed in idle but every time it...

    Fuel Line Drained the tank

    2 weeks later still no leakage. I guess lesson learned to get oem parts.

    1994 Mariner 60 Hp and Faria Tach Failing after 3/4 throttle

    So tried again today it's solid until 3500 to 3700 rpm all day long. 3800-4000 rpm which is getting close to full throttle it goes to zero. If I keep running at full throttle it will eventually come back up but it's not solid and bounces alot.

    1994 Mariner 60 Hp and Faria Tach Failing after 3/4 throttle

    Tach is 7K possible. At 3/4 it's throttle (maybe a bit more) it's hitting around 3500 K It's just when I push the throttle that extra inch to wide open is when the tach drops.

    1994 Mariner 60 Hp and Faria Tach Failing after 3/4 throttle

    Installed a new Faria 7000 rpm tach suppose to be suitable for motor. Tach is steady and constant until I hit 3/4 throttle and then it just goes to zero. Back of throttle and it's back to steady. Mfg Faria suggested the setting may not be exactly on setting. I checked the pole position and...

    RPM won't go over 4000

    Outside of new tank and hose, my next easy thought would be spark plug wires (assuming spark plugs have already been changed).

    Fuel Line Drained the tank

    Trim is broke so not trimmed up other than where it sits for all time use which is justly slightly trimmed above straight down. fuel hose is new so not likely a hole and as stated it would not likely work well. Yes connector at the engine which is where the gas seemed to be coming out. But...

    Fuel Line Drained the tank

    well maybe it is a fuel line under the cowling though I would think I would notice that ran on muffs cowling off prior to going to water and the fact that connector was soaked in gas made me think leak at connector but liquid does what liquid does so maybe it somehow leaked off fuel system under...

    Fuel Line Drained the tank

    Well that would stop leaking when not on board. Still curious as to what would cause this to happen. I've ordered a new quick silver brand fuel hose to see if that fixes the issue.

    Fuel Line Drained the tank

    Engine is below the fuel tank. It's a pontoon so not much I can do about that without major addition. Engine was running great. No hesitation and no sign of leakage during the day.

    RPM won't go over 4000

    I was going to say try different tank and fuel line but I see he tried that. Might try it again with new hose just in case he didn't try the new hose part.. But reading through his notes he talks about blown gasket and water on the wrong side but doesn't report it repaired. What about that

    Fuel Line Drained the tank

    1994 Mercury Mariner 60hp. Replaced fuel line last year. First time out with new fuel line. Boat ran great all day. Parked it and overnight and was noticing fuel drops in the water. When I went to disconnect fuel line I noticed fuel at the connection point on motor. Then realized the tank...
