    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I knew it was not good due to the first reason but I had never thought of the second. Well I won't be doing it again in any case.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Guy who sold it to me who was like a broker basically, he rebuilt the carbs and the fuel pump. I am gona re-rebuild both to verify the work. Since I know there was definitely a good amount of fuel delivered by the primer bulb (dripping out mouth of carbs) I'm guessing it's gona be something...

    I removed carbs and fuel pump.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I adjusted the choke butterflies to be tighter but not binding. I also checked for spark on all 6 wires (using the same plug on each wire to make it easier on myself). There's good spark all around. I can confirm fuel at all 3 carbs as I'm priming the bulb until it drips out of the carb throats...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I think to line up the flywheel markings with the pulley I am gona have to be at 4-6* BTDC? Not zero TDC. In which case it was probably fine in the first place? That has it lining up with the punch marks on the flywheel as well as the index mark on the black piece of metal below the pulley.

    Also, if the 464 mark was lining up correctly, my link & sync settings from yesterday should be correct I assume.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Ok. I made a tool to measure 464 BTDC. I did the test 10 or more times, readjusting my tool along the way to be more accurate on TDC. the marked 464 clearance was on the same piece of tape, so that measurement would stay the same as I moved the TDC. Anyways, the more times I did the test the...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I want to get a manual but I can't find one that I don't have to pay ($15 just to download??). I'm used to the vintage honda world where they are all available for download on the forum. Is there a resource that I'm missing?

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Oh I see I didn't realize there was a 464 mark on the flywheel but I see it now. 1. 464 BTDC & set marker 2. 0* TDC confirm pulley position 3. 4-6* TDC set throttle pickup 4. Do remaining link & sync steps.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    also, is there a reason to remove all spark plugs or is that only to make spinning the engine easier?

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Thank you. So I am finding the distance X from top of piston to the outside of spark plug hole at the BEGINNING of TDC. Then, take ruler out, add 464 and mark with tape. then rotate engine almost 360*, and stop where tape meets outside of spark plug hole? Then set timing marker to point to 5*...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I also spoke to the guy that sold the outboard to me and he said that he did rebuild the carbs with new gaskets and intake gaskets.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    The 0.464" is to confirm the 4-6* on the flywheel sticker? I didn't do this method because I don't have a caliper or small ruler with me. For the distributor pulley, I looked at the top of the top shield which has a rivet I believe which is on the opposite side of the arrow. If this not an...

    Mercury 1150 Stuck in UP position

    I filled the pump with 5w-30 engine oil. I also was a little more careful screwing in hoses this time and cleaned the threads on the pump beforehand. So far no leaks. I noticed that the filer screw burps when you unscrew it. It never did that on the other pump so I guess the air must have been...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I ended up doing the rest of the procedure and everything seemed to work smoothly. The engine still did not start up though. I used the fast idle lever and choke. I cranked for about 5 seconds at a time about 10 or so times with a short pause in between. There is a lot of gas visible when I...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I got this 1977 1150 elpt. It did not start on first attempt when I was at the lake switching trailers. Now I'm looking to get it to start. Compression is all +/- 5psi around 120psi. I have replaced internal harness. Carbs are not rebuilt (not by me at least). Speaking of which can anyone tell...

    Mercury 1150 Stuck in UP position

    I had read about the pistons stripping out so I was very careful there installing the hoses. They are good. I ended up disconnecting all hoses last night because I needed to investigate the leak anyways. After removing the hoses it went down. The pump appeared to be leaking from more than one...

    Mercury 1150 Stuck in UP position

    Yes, the dog ears are moving freely. And the engine is already at the maximum UP position, and using the UP switch makes the strained "end of range of motion" sound. The hydraulic hose that is leaking is one of the large ones. I will crack it a bit to see if I can thread it in for a better seal...

    Mercury 1150 Stuck in UP position

    Hi everyone. First post here. I have this 1977 1150 which I bought last week. I was going about getting everything hooked up and had the power trim working correctly. One of the hose connections was leaking at the pump end, and it still needed a bit of bleeding, but it was working. I am using...
