I believe you are talking about the ground wire that screws to the shroud bracket . its there to ground it because it is mounted on rubber for vibrations.

@@smedsmarineland Thanks !

I bought it from a guy that said it was a 4 stoke... so.. Idk...

Yes its a 2 stroke 4 cylinder. This one is premix. The autoblend system is seperate from the motor really and can be used on many 50:1 motors. Autoblends can be rebuilt. Hope that answers any questions.

No I sold her.

It seemed like a good strong engine but I only had it on the stand and never tried it on a boat.

Each carb has an air screw adjustment but it is most likely your linkage adjustment. Be careful not to throw out your synchronizing.

Sorry I have no idea what you just asked.

Your welcome thats great.

Put a volt meter on the positive side of the starter and make sure there is 12 volts when the key is turned. If there is then check that the starter is grounded. If not the relay should be changed. If you dont have a meter just jump a positive line from the battery to the starter to see if it works. Hope this makes sense to you.

@@smedsmarineland thank you very much,this helped alot!

I use a website mercruiser.com or any Mercury dealer can order the parts as well.

When set up properly they are a nice smooth little motor. Enjoy.

@@smedsmarineland I have one that I need to get running. Where are you located?

@@juliannepstad2757 I'm in Ontario Canada. A little too far lol.

50 to one

Ebay or a place on the internet Ive used called BAM

Some of these motors did but I'm not sure if this year did or not. Sorry

​@@smedsmarineland Thanks

I was looking at some pics of several year models & I couldn't identify where thermostat might be-

Hey Jon Your looking at a big job. There is no cylinder head on these motors, its all one big block and the crank has to come out to change the pistons but putting it back is the tricky part. In order to not chip any rings you need special ring compressors just for these motors. I would price it out before you make the purchase. Smed

@@smedsmarineland how many hours would you say would be involved? For a first timer. I'm a mechanic of sorts but never done this kind of thing

@@mrfixer987 I cant remember how long it took me but I would guess at around 30 hours. The carbs should be done as well. The nasty part is scraping some of the old merc gaskets off. Repaint everything seperate with the mercury phantom black will be rewarding. Have fun.

@@smedsmarineland thanks 👍. If I'm this far into the motor are there any other moving parts that might need to be changed. Wondering if I would find wear on the cam shaft where that would need to be changed or replaced?

@@mrfixer987 This is a 2 stroke so there is no cam or valves. I would rebuild fuel pump and carbs. Dont neglect the lower unit. New water pump and check all seals.

Yes I only tried mine on a squareback canoe and she was a bit hairy of a ride.lol

I did the same thing. Who would have thought?

Sorry Terry I sold the motor and I dont have my manuals here with me.

Did you find out pos in silanoide

Yes I believe it was that they started checking the horsepower @the prop but same motor as the old 500's

The power trim pump and motor is just below the transom mount. You can see it at the end of the video when Im showing the trim work.

Your probably right with corosion so get a good penetrating oil and spray the crap out if it. Make sure when you lift it your lifting straight up because the spring tends to jam it sideways. Last resort is drill a hole in the center and use a small puller.

@@smedsmarineland thanks. My last resort is to use a grinder and just cut the spindle. Means I'd have to buy a new wiper arm though

Sprayed it for a week, but couldn't get it off. Ended up grinding the motor spindle off. Years of corrosion and gunk, so obviously the previous owner had left it broken for a long time. Replaced the motor and put on a new wiper arm and Bob's yer uncle

@@hummer2223 nice to hace it working again. Something you do miss.

Ask away and Ill try to help if I can!

To clean them properly they must come off.record the jet settings before they are dismantled. Soak them in a good carb cleaner for overnight. Check that the floats actually float and rebuild. I strongly recommend using a service manual and Mercury parts.

You should be able to find it with the serial number and where it was made

@@smedsmarineland thank you the person that sold me the motor didn't took good care ot it and I can't read the numbers on the sticker located on the transom bracket is there any other place on the motor with the serial number?

Yes there should be somewhere on the block that is stamped in. Your other option is to pull the stator and there should be a number on it usually right in the plastic. Make sure you use a proper puller to remove the flywheel.

Its a good ole 2 stroke

Awesome Thanks

The shift linkage is connected to the lower unitby means of a splined shaft. It slides off as lowered unless stuck.

Not knowing the year or serial number of your motor, it may be NGK BUHW-2. If thats the correct plug they are a center electrode pre gap and you just install and torque. Hope this helped.

Yes go to this website maxrules.com/merc_contents.php Or let me know the size of motor serial number and where it was made. Hope this helped. Smed

Your welcome its those little tricks we thank youtube for.
