    1984 115 hp mercury inline 6 Trim problems.

    I have a 1984 mercury 115 2cyl inline 6 outboard with a trim system mounted out side boat. I replaced the pump last year before I got a service manual for it (the pump motor assembly was bad had water in electrical motor and was rusty. Pump part was clean.). So, I used mercury trim oil in it...

    3 ram mercury trim leaking down

    There is a manual let raise/down for when trim stops operating. That allows you to hand raise or lower the unit. Mine was doing same thing and found the manual screw in type valve has Orings on it and it had a bad Oring. Check to see if it is that but you will need engine raised up and lock in...

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    I followed manual completely, I did set the .464 pointer but when I disconected the blk/wht as manual calls for, the timing showed to be so far out I could not see the markings. I was able to adjust the idle timing but the screw head is about 1/4 inch from all the way in, before with the screw...

    Never mind about it I found it in front of book under specifications. 5-7 degrees ATDC for this engine.

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    Got a question lol. I ordered a dial indicator and it will be in on the 29th. I read the manual and understand everything up to step 9 under Timing adjustments. 8. Connect timing light to number 1 plug 9. With engine in neutral, hold throttle lever so that the idle stop is against stop. Crank...

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    No I did not set the pointer because I did not have the correct caliper but will borrow one when I start over using the manual. I figured to set every thing per the manual and get the best starting point. This way I have the best starting point for troubleshooting. I am waiting on the manual to...

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    I said it backwards lol. I should have said it was 5 degree BTDC I adjusted it to 4 degrees ATDC. The label on it has 0 to 9 and 0 to 21

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    Chris I will get a manual. I checked the time following your instructions and it was 5 degree ATDC I adjusted it to 4 degrees BTDC. It seams to run better at lower RPM now but I am just going to have to wait on manual. It still dies out at idle after a about 10 seconds. Could be the carbs and or...

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    I have a timing light coming in today, I have already replaced the water pump, and I have already rewired the bad wiring. I check to make sure there was nothing major wrong with engine back 8 months ago. Then I started by removing the flooring/replacing the flooring, replacing the sump pumps...

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    That would mean I would be paying 31.50 for it since he wants 11.50 to ship it. I have to hold it as low as possible because I am retire and have very limited funds. Also I am not in any hurry. Been working on this boat for about 8 months now as I get funds 😂. Slow but sure win in the end. Thank you

    1979 115 hp 6 cyl inline 2 cycle timing/carb adjust

    This boat has a spring loaded foot pedal I had to adjust the holder so the idle arm would return to idle position. The carb linkage is adjusted to where carb baffle is almost closed but with no pressure on it. I really don't like this throttle setup. Like driving a car (: Thanks

What I have done and tried is as follows: 1. Clean carbs (would run at higher rpm but not idle no matter how the carbs was...

    Burnt wires

    I am having similar issue and have done a lot of research on this but my engine is 75 HP 1996 model. What I have learned is how to check the rectifier to see if it is still good or not. The burnt wires could be from a loose connection an the point of the burn. The current going thru those wires...

    Mercontrol problems 85 hp model 850

    I have a Hydra sports with an 85 hp model 850 mercury 2 cycle engine. It has a 2 lever mercontrol. The warm up lever will increase idle but the shift/throttle lever does not increase throttle. I have taken apart the control box and found worn cam slot and brass roller follower. The shift lever...
