We had two of these on the back of our work boat. No sound like those when they got synced together. Well, maybe the Matra at the 1971 LeMans 24 hours.
Good morning Merc, so I rebuilt the fuel pump. New check valve’s, gaskets, diaphragm. It seems to rev up fine with it in gear. Seems strong. I have great spark, compression is great. Thru out the day we would let it sit and go out and it fires up instantly. We went out this morning, just a little choke and Just wouldn’t fire. I hit it with a squirt of starter fluid and fired instantly. We redid the carbs, new floats etc. we haven’t taken it to the lake yet to see if it will power up but why is it so hard to start after sitting all night. I’m lost. It purrs great when it starts. What am I missing
Where do you get your CDI harnesses and how do you find the correct one for the engine your servicing? Looking at a 1500 from 1985 that’s needs a harness.
I’ve got a 82 80hp merc 4cyl it runs great without the muffs but runs like crap in the water and she barley goes I mean like barley and falls on her face I have to ease to full throttle and at full throttle I’m barley going 5mph or 10mph like it’s in limp mode The first day after I cleaned carbs she ran like a champ I accidentally turned the idle timing screw when I went to go turn up my idle and I put it back where it was and when I went on the lake after that about 5 mins into my trip it just started running like first explained please help your the only guy I feel like can help me I’ve tried everything except for pulling off the carbs and cleaning them again because it’s got a brand new 6 gal gas tank so wouldn’t think that would clog it
@@MerCSonL6 there was a line I think it was a vacuum line from the top of the engine to the very bottom of the engine that ran behind the cdi box It was deteriorated I replaced it and it seemed to startup easier. But haven’t taken it to the water to test it yet. What was that line I replaced?
Your videos are cool and everything but, there’s no way in hell I could ever work side by side with you😂 You’re somewhat rude..I enjoy your videos though😂😂😂😂👍🏾
your safety standards are below any acceptable standards. I have watched four of your videos already. I will not be doing that again. what a cowboy. stop being over worked, underpaid. this might help you to slow down and think of your own safety.
Love older mercury outboards, in my opinion mercury, has always been number 1. Love your channel. Keep
up the good work!!!
Glad you are doing this as so many mechanics have quit or gave up
NEVER GETS OLD, WWRRRREEEEWWW WRRREEEWW, YEAH BUDDY!
Yessir!
Awsome man keeping those towers of power ALIVE!!
L6 Sound is heart warming! 😂
Got a 74 1150 and love it.. It's on a 16 ft Baja

It's not getting enough fuel. I would integrate a fuel injection system into the crankcase. I have a video on how this procedure is done.

Please help me!
79 80hp 4cyl #3 misfire new plugs & coils, rebuilt carbs. Timing light is 45° off when hooked to cyl 1
Test the trigger. I have videos on this procedure.

What years of mercury 100 thru 150 L 6 outboards are the best to buy? Thanks Jim
What model and brand is your ultrasonic cleaner
Great video! Why 19 or 20 degrees?
Gas is crap compared to the 70s. The 19 helps protect against detonation. Son
@@MerCSonL6 that makes sense! Thanks! Bob
@@MerCSonL6 I have a 1974 Mercury 402. I guess that would apply to it also.
@bobsheller1427 correct my friend. Son
@MerCSonL6 Thanks, Son!
My son bought a boat that has an 115 L6 how hot should the water be coming out the drain hole ?
What size is the balancer hose?
Good morning Son. I’m planning on installing an enrichment valve. Would a windshield washer pump do the same thing??
Sounds like it work. I personally have never tried or seen anyone try. Lmk how it works out. Son
😍😍
my buddy has the same engine and year on his Baja..
I love seeing 👀 your comments my friend!!!
Was wondering if you could help me with my 35hp?????
Yes I can.
Hi where are you located, what city and state.

Its definitely a fuel delivery issue. Not necessarily carb but the entire fuel system needs checked including the fuel pump.

@@wildriderz_bw no. That pulls oil up to lubricate the top bearing. Important.
How much to do my engine the same one
How can I get ahold of you I’m going crazy with my L6
You can find me on the Facebook group L6 Enthusiasts.
Ground wire loose? What is it you always give me grief over?
Lol, you $%^&#@!! Haha
