    1973 Mercury 115 2 stroke engine questions

    Okay so I need to drain and use SAE20, got it. I have taken the fuel pump apart and not noticed anything amiss (to my unlearned eyes). Should the fuel pump be rebuilt to fix this then? or carb issues? Thanks

    1973 Mercury 115 2 stroke engine questions

    Infinate Monkeys, mine got rebuilt in 2014. Ill check the notes for what the mechanic said to use for the trim in the morning. Im thinking ATF. Also, it is prone to sticking so, if it does, and you dont want to overhaul it "tap the top to unstick the brushes". Works when it has for me. I am...

    1973 Mercury 115 2 stroke engine questions

    I am looking for these items at the moment too. Carbs seem to be VERY stuck to the block. Im affraid to take them off. The only problem with mine (73 115hp) is WOT only lasts a few seconds and makes me retard thottle or have someone pump the ball while running to get enough fuel to maintain WOT.

    1973 115hp Tower of Power, Straight 6 Bogging down

    Last year my motor would bog down after a few seconds WOT, this would force me to reduce throttle to ~20% and only with someone on the "Ball" (pump) on the line would be able to run fine WOT. That makes me think a fuel pump or carbs. I am in the process of disassembly of the 3 carbs but have...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 Gi Beeping every 3 seconds

    So to clarify, All alarms are coming from the engine bay. Would the VDO be sending a signal back to engine to sound the alarm? If so where would you order such VDO cluster? Or find out what is wrong with it? If microsoldering is required, it is no issue. I can check out the motor with thermal...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 Gi Beeping every 3 seconds

    I have sloothed forms for a while now and have found two possible reasons for the alarm: low oil pressure and high water temp according to the manual. It dosen't tell me what alarm is which though. The guage appears to function properly but, the 120db alarm keeps going off every 3 seconds. I...
