    Mercury 85HP Thunderbolt Ignition Series??? Whats missing??

    Hello all, Sorry its been so long but finally, finally got around to checking for spark and low and behold she had dang good spark. Thanking my lucky stars there.

    Mercury 85HP Thunderbolt Ignition Series??? Whats missing??

    The guys asking $200 for that motor, says it was supposedly rebuilt years ago and sat. Think he’s had it posted for some time out on the reservation. Could probably offer him $100 if you all thought it was worth it

    Mercury 85HP Thunderbolt Ignition Series??? Whats missing??

Nothing cheap about boating ehh😂 I live down in Arizona…the land of lakes😂 If I had to guess I would think that it used two, just seeing the two areas there missing the pump with the bolts sitting there.

    Thank you, definitely plan on it. Going to my fuel issue.(just looking ahead for now, thinking out loud) I suspect it could be difficult finding those pumps. Could I just make some blank plates, cap those off and put an electric inline fuel pump? Thanks

    Mercury 85HP Thunderbolt Ignition Series??? Whats missing??

    Definitely a dummy here, I have some pretty knowledgeable co-workers. Was mentioning the no spark and like a moron I didn’t even think about the fact I was just applying 12+ straight to the starter. I’ll definitely have to dive into it more. I do suspect I’ll have to replace spark plugs, cap...

    Mercury 85HP Thunderbolt Ignition Series??? Whats missing??

    Thank you for your input, I spent a total of $450 for the 16’ ranger, trailer and motor. Definitely will just walk away from it if it gets to pricey where I couldn’t unload it for close to what I have in it. While doing the compression test I was not getting any spark. I plan on looking through...
