#MERCURY MOTOR REPAIR DRIVER#
Then I used a mototool to slot them and with a flat tip screw driver was able to get them out. I had a tough time getting several of the cover plate screws out and the three bearing plate screws so I drilled off the heads to disassemble the unit. I tried to understand what each part did as I took it apart so I would have a better chance of getting it back together. I then disassembled the unit taking my time and several digital pictures. I tried several things, couldn't find it so I removed the throttle spring and got to the nut that way. Here I am trying to find the access hole to loosen the nut that holds the shift cable. This is a picture of it out laying on the floor of the boat.
#MERCURY MOTOR REPAIR MANUALS#
The only disassembly/assembly instructions I could find that fit my control were in one of the SELOC manuals I have (I have the Mercury motor repair manual also), but the SELOC manual had pretty good step-by-step instructions. I found a link on this site to the internal parts of my control:Ī little daunting with 50 numbered parts to say the least. YIKES! $300! So I next decided to tear into the old one to see what was up. Maybe a new Mercury control or a Teleflex CH1751P Osprey.
#MERCURY MOTOR REPAIR CRACKED#
After flushing the engine, disconnect the fuel line and allow the engine to burn all the fuel in the carburetor.If that doesn't solve the problem, you may need a new water pump. Start the engine again and check the output. Insert a small piece of wire into the flow tube and work it back and forth. Immediately shut down the engine to prevent overheating and damage. If the output is not strong, you may have some debris stuck in the outflow tube. Carefully put your finger through the stream of water. While you're flushing the motor, check the water pump to make sure it has good water flow.
