    Fuel pump

    You shouldn't need a great fuel pump to start the engine. Pumping the primer bulb should fill the carb bowls with sufficient fuel. An advanced throttle and a properly working enricher/choke should get it started

    Fuel pump

    Well, you have 3 options. Take parts from the 2 pumps and make a good one. Return that counterfeit pump and buy a real Mercury pump. Should be part number 14360A73 $125 Or return the new one, and just rebuild the old one. What is wrong with the original pump?

    Starting your car in this cold weather.

    Found this info in the Milwaukee newspaper today. Would have posted in non-boating technical, but found it too humorous . Why does your car not start when it's extremely cold? Cars may not start in the cold because the batteries are not fully charged, according to J.D. Power. You can try the...

    Maximum transom outboard weight for a 1994 14' Lund Laker?

    Mid 80's to mid 90's Mercury 35 hp long shaft motors were 145-148 pounds. They have really reduced the weight of the new 25-30 hp motors in the last few years. A new 30 hp will be 140 pounds. 30 hp with tilt and trim will be 160 pounds.

    Advice needed on 12'-14' jon boat purchase.

    FYI : Not all manufacturers measure their hulls the same way, or select model numbers the same. Example: a 1448 model from one company may be 48" wide at the floor and 54 or 60" wide at the top of the hull. While another company's 1448 model might only be 36 or 40" wide at the floor, and 48"...

    Lowe 1667

    Well, its a pretty basic utility boat. So is it comfortable? Comfort is relative. How long are your legs? How boney is your butt? It there a cushioned seat attached to the bench? How shallow is your river? Boat should be fine in anything deeper than 2 feet of water. Should be an easy boat to...

    Performance expectations for a smaller boat??

    Here is one of them I am considering. I would keep the 35 that is on it, but I need the power tilt that comes on the new 4 stroke. By the way, the 35 Merc 2 stroke, and the 30 hp 4 stroke, weigh the same. 70" beam 66" tramsom width 20" transom height dead rise is almost 0 when trailer is...

    1994 ranger361 hard steering new cables?

    Disconnect cable from motor. Does the motor now move freely? If not, the problem is on the motor. Disconnect cable from steering helm. Does it turn freely? You can grease the cable end and the helm, but it is likely the 30 year old cables. They fray, rust, and bind inside the casing. Replace...
