I greatly enjoy the way you explain to your listeners, start to finish. Also, there is so many DIY's that the only way they seem to want something is to get it new instead of bringing something back to life. Keep them coming, I'm hooked on your videos. Thanks

I thank you for the carburetor how-to. I basically did the same thing the other day. I picked up a 165hp, cranked it once with no spark. I put the correct coil on it and cleaned the points. By the time I turned the key to check for spark again I turned around and said "oh wow, it's already running". I'm about to pull it, pressure test the coolant system and rebuild the carburetor. Are you aware why there aren't any fuel pump parts available? I'm planning to run a remote fuel water separator. FYI, get yourself a Carolina cherry picker. It's night and day better than the cheepo ones. I'm looking forward to more videos on this project. I'm basically doing the same project. Do you have an opinion on the stovepipe choke vs electric choke? I'm thinking about switching over since I can for basically free.

Hi Michael, just wondering what fuel pump did you use for the 165. Thanks again I love the videos. There extremely helpful.

That intake/exhaust manifold is very problematic for cracking and letting water into the engine. A stuck open, removed or malfunctioning thermostat is thought to be one of the problems. The fact that it has survived this long is amazing. If that casting breaks there’s no repair it because it simply won’t last. If you can find a replacement, it’ll make a small block Chevy look like the better option. The engine is great but the merCruiser manifold sucks.

Ooops, I forgot one quick question. The new silver fuel pump you just installed on the 165 has what looks like a metal "bail" on top, as though its holding a fuel filter in a can to the top of the pump. Is that right?

Michael- this is so helpful!!! These engines are so rare now there’s few people talking about them. I’m working on the exact same 165. It’s running good at idle but at higher RPM it has a ‘miss’. Would this be timing? How to check and adjust timing? I’m also having a hard time getting my oil pressure gauge to work. Got a new sensor but the wires don’t seem to be hooked up correctly. New fuel pump like yours has an extra brass port out the bottom what is this for?

Great video Michael. I bet you had a wet spot in your shorts when that thing popped off!!!! Absolutely superb. Like when you adjusted the valves with the engine NOT running, you can get a dead on perfect ignition timing by hooking up a DVOM or a simple test lamp into the wire from the dist to the coil. After setting the point gap, turn the crank to 6 deg before TDC with #1 on compression stroke. then simply turn the dist housing till the instant the light turns off, and lock it down. Ignition timing will be spot on. Oh, of course reconnect the wire to the coil. This is going to be a great series!!!!

as far as a power valve tool just take a cut off wheel to a sacrificial screwdriver. several small engine manufactures recommended simple green in the ultrasonics. as a hint put your small parts in a ziplock baggie filled with cleaning solution. squeeze the air out and seal it toss the bag with the parts in the cleaner. it works great.
