    Help setting S/S carb adjustment 1997 60 Hp 3 cyl Johnson

    I have read many different procedures on setting the mixture screws on this motor, so now I'm confused. Furthermore my service manual is missing the critical pages I have page 3-63 then it jumps to 3-73 and the index shows 3-71 for the instructions for the 3-cyl engines. DOH! Can anyone tell me...

    Hi folks, Saga continues trying to get this old motor to run. Had the stator and power pack replaced, cleaned the carbs and it runs. It idles a bit rough but starts quickly and runs, but at idle on the muffs it will stall after about 5 min, seems it runs out of gas. If I pump the fuel line bulb...

    Hi I suspect I have issues with the CDI Power pack. Would a failing power pack display any symptoms, like engine missing, rough idle, stall at idle, before complete failure? Or are power packs either work or don't work? Thanks.

    One step closer to water... 1992 Mercruiser 5.7L questions

    My 1992 5.7L Mercruiser has stated up after a long lay up! It starts but won't idle unless throttle is advanced about 1/4 can get it to idle but it surges between 1000 -1500 rpm and stalls if I go under that range. My "best guess" is I need a carb kit (floats/etc), but could it also be ignition...
