    1997 Merc 9.9 two stroke dies when advancing throttle

    so you don't think it has anything to do with carb/fuel pump? mainly, just a setting issue? should i not even bother with the new fuel line? i figured i would just clean and rebuild the carb since it is 28 years old and wanted to eliminate any questions in there but maybe i will just start...

    1997 Merc 9.9 two stroke dies when advancing throttle

    I just picked up a used 97 merc two stroke 9.9 hp for my 16foot aluminum boat. It is a non tiller version. Finally took it out this weekend and it started great and idles fine. Pulled away from the launch and again no problems. I try to throttle up and as soon as i do the motor starts to...

    1995 Johnson 112 SPL water everywhere

    Just replace water impeller on my 112 and wanted to test it out in a tub of water. The pump seems to be working as it is spitting out a solid stream of water. As I was watching it though I also noticed water coming out of where the shift rod comes out of lower unit and these side caps. Is...

    Mercury control compatability

    I have a 1993 25hp Mercury outboard with console controls on my current 15ft aluminum boat. I need to purchase a 10 hp or less outboard to use on some smaller reservoirs in my area. Will these 1993 controls be compatible with say a 1996 Mercury 9.9 or would they not work?

    Fixed but nervous

    I can definitely check the overheat system. Would that cause intermittent starting issues or is it just more of a general maintenance routine?

    Fixed but nervous

    So for the past few years I have been having issues with my 95 Johnson 112. 2 yrs ago we went out in very rough seas and after getting to our destination we could not get boat started again. Got it home and realized if we just unplugged kill wire at motor it would fire up. We looked allover...

    Main Red Plug

    After looking at pinout diagram it looks like the corrosion was mainly affecting the kill ground, tach and Fused 12volt leads. With the corrosion being in contact will all 3 leads I assume that the voltage I was getting could have been traveling through the corrosion from 12v lead to the kill...

    Main Red Plug

    Having spark issues on my 95 Johnson 112. After watching several videos on you tube I saw one that said make sure I don't have any voltage going through my kill circuit. Well when I disconnected it from power pack I was getting 12volts. So I pulled the red plugs apart at the motor and under...

    1995 Johnson 112 SPL

    I am having trouble with my 112spl. Thought I had fuel issues so I rebuilt carbs and that still didn't fix it. I am able to get it fired when it is in the forward detent while in neutral but it quickly shuts off after a few seconds. It won't start at a high idle at all and will quickly turn off...

    1995 Johnson 112

    So I did the adjustments and it works great in forward and I can get it to go into reverse but I am not get any throttle in reverse. It just feels like a hard stop as soon as it gets into reverse. If I put it in the high idle/start position using the button on the controls I can get full...

    1995 Johnson 112

    Would you happen to know shift rod height for the 112 extra long shaft, some charts say 26 1/4 and others 26 27/32? Also, do you adjust cables while in neutral or forward? My manual states in forward but all posts I read say in neutral. It is a surface binnacle mount controller if that makes a...

    1995 Johnson 112

    Is this linkage supposed to twist like this in picture with red circle when in forward WOT? When it is in neutral it mates back up with the control cable like in 2nd photo.

    1995 Johnson V4 Shift linkage

    I replaced my water pump and now trying to get the linkage connected properly. I slid the pin mechanism back through the linkage but is it suppose to slide through the other hole on the starboard side of the shift rod? Right now I can get it to shift but this black bracket seems to be bending...

    1995 Johnson 112 won't stop trimming down

    Sorry it has been so long, I was finally able to take the boat out recently with the new relay. It seems to be working fine now the few hours we had it in the water. Thanks a lot!

    1995 Johnson 112 won't stop trimming down

    I have a 112 johnson, the motor has been great so far since i owned it but on my last trip out last year the motor would not stop trimming down. I eventually removed the green and white wire from the plastic box after it was in the water as I didn't have to worry about depth. Anyway, is there...

    2002 Merc 90hp 2 stroke won't idle after winter storage.

    So I sold my boat to a friend and of course it won't idle after telling him the boat has never had an issue for me. Anyway, the boat wasn't used much the last few years but it was used twice last year and it did idle fine my last time out. I fogged the engine and I did put seafoam in the tank...
