@14:08 - You reference a little BB that gets dropped back into the hole on that primer. What symptoms would be present if the BB were not there? I disassembled the carb to troubleshoot a flooding issue. There was no BB under the spring. It's not the first time the carb has been opened, so I'm wondering if the missing BB is causing the problem.

Thanks Daniel 😮 I'm way past that stage now my problem now is that I cant seem to get it into forward gear correctly. I've removed the lower unit again because I thought the flywheel was preventing me from getting into forward but now that I have it apart again it's still the same , I cant even remember now which way the end of the shift rod was facing when I took it apart or does this only face the same way as in the video

Ok so I've managed to get it to fit back together but now it looks like I've got a bigger problem , when I put it into forward gear the prop still turns and clicks too , reverse seems ok as the prop wont turn and neutral seems ok too😅

Missing the check ball in the primer for the carb and want a cheap replacement? The detent ball in a 1/4 drive socket extension fits and works. I used a cheap extension from an impact extension (1/4 hex to 1/4 square drive) and carefully cut the ball out.

I did exactly what you did and it's not spraying barely? Any suggestions? My 9.9 1995 mercury could it be thermostat? I noticed alot of slop from pickup tube from pump to copper uplift water tube ? It also smokes alot I just bought it used ? Compression is cylinder 1 96 psi and cylinder 2 is 100 psi ? Is this typical normal for this year? The guy told me this motor set for 10 years? Thanks !

Because the fuel and air passages in the carb body turn and redirect in directions you dont realise they can and often do project a stream of eye burning carb spray "right back into your face" its a good idera to wear chemical protection safety glasses whenever you use carb spray to clean a carb body.

I am trying to insert the shaft back up to the hole into the top of the motor. It stops at 3 inches and will not go any further. I’ve even taken a dowel rod measured it put the rod up there so I can move it around in a circle I feel no hole or the shaft to go into and when I turn the flywheel, I can feel nothing, touching the rod what do I do here?

New subscriber here...Great vids for fixing up my old 6 HP 2 stroke. Thanks for getting these out there. I have a question...it appears some of these small outboards have an adjuster at the throttle cam and some don't. Mine doesn't have the adjuster and any microfiche I can access on line doesn't show it as a part...what gives? Thx again.

Great video. I ran in to an issue.... After reassembling my fuel pump body is cracked and leaks. I suspect I over tightened it or maybe it is just too old and is falling apart. I have to order a new fuel pump kit now. Hopefully that gets me back on the water.

This was a really helpful video and I was able to rebuild easily. However the little gasket shown at 6:15 in the video with the channel cut out. Should fuel come out of this when priming the engine with the fuel bulb? or have I missed something, Any help appreciated.

i use an air compressor with an air nozzle with a cone rubber tip. plug one drain plug and send air through one. Press and release the air nozzle just slightly, but keep pressure on it for several seconds or minutes. The moment you pull the air nozzle away, there should be a rush of air coming out of the drain hole. If there is a leak somewhere, you won't get a rush of air coming out. i air check transmission drums the same way.

Hi there. I have a 15hp mercury 2 stroke. I’m missing the #37 screw. It’s the M5 x 30mm screw with a jam nut. Could you tell me what the adjustment is supposed to be on that screw? Engine seems to be running fine with out. Just want to get it back in there so it’s fixed properly

What is actually failing with these water pumps? Not much to them.. My unit is intermittent with the amount of water it picks up.. the impeller looks good- so I guess I'll spend the $250 for a water pump kit.

Funny, mine wasn't pumping either. So I just changed the impeller, which looked fine. And it pumps now. I wonder if it was the thermostat being stuck closed.

I hope you're still checking these messages. I've got an older Mercury 8 HP 2 stroke. I cannot get it to run for any extended period of time without pulling the choke on. I've tried adjusting the carburetor using the steps in this video. Even after keeping it running after 10 or 15 minutes, I have to pull the choke on to keep it running. I pull in on and turn it right back off and it'll run for a couple of minutes, then I have to repeat. If I put it in gear, I basically have to keep the chole on to keep it running. This really sounds like a mixture problem, but I'm not a mechanic. Not sure what else to try. I' haven't checked to see if it has a thermostat yet.
