    Mercury 35 hp outboard timing

    Welcome to iboats. The 3 degrees is not an Idle Timing Spec. It is likely the Spec for the Primary Pickup, which when the Carb is just about to move from from being fully closed. Unlike older cars/truck engines, the timing is what adjusts the Idle Speed, as the Carbs are always fully closed at...

    '83 johnson, fuel not reaching cylinder

    Ease up with the starting Fluid, that stuff is very good at stripping the Oil off the Internals that require it. You say it has spark. Have you tried spraying a bit of Premix into the carbs to see if it fires? The Compression Numbers are low, try another gauge. 1983. I will assume you are...

    Thermostat on 235 Evinrude

    There is No 'Easing' it into gear. It is either In or Out of Gear, so the quicker the Shift, the Longer the Clutch Dog and Gears last.

    Merc Outboard - 2 Year Old Engine Failure, 5 Year Extended Warranty Denied

    Too Bad you didn't have the Merc Dealer do the winterizing. Bent Connecting Rods can occur when a Liquid is ingested while the engine is running at speeds higher than Idle. I guess if someone poured a pint of Fogging Oil down a Carb in less than a couple seconds and the engine was running about...

    Best propeller pitch for Frankenstein build.

    Could be a Restriction somewhere in the Fuel System, including Tank Venting, Fuel Pickup in the tank, even a weak fuel pump. Have you tested the Pump for Flow and Pressure? Is there a Filter at the Carb? Is it a 2bbl or a 4bbl?
