Hi I have watched your videos and subscribed I have a 18 foot Allison bass boat has the 1985 200 mercury I’m about to redo the carburetors while I’m going do this since I seen your videos I will be replacing the reeds also from Chris Carson’s marine thank you for your videos just wanted say thanks
The white powder on the O-rings is a rodent deterrent, and must be washed off prior to use. I purchased rubber bellows for a stern drive, and the manufacture added that to the installation instructions. Great how-to video...I mean "NON-DIY Video"
I recall watching a you tube video where a marine mechanic used an inductive type timing light with an rpm function to check double firing. The timing light pickup was placed on each individual spark plug wire with the engine running. Each wire checked should indicate similar rpm readings. If one of the wires should twice the rpm readings as the others it would indicate a double fire.
Nice video, starting is hard without enrichment lol. I was wondering where you got the red velocity stacks on the powerhead at the start of the video? They look like plastic almost? Thanks and keep up the good work!
What happens typically when one of these things runs out of oil and they quit does it usually require the whole engine rebuild or can you just re-ring it
Hey man I got a question I was wondering how I can get a hold of you? Does that motor have a thermal valve? I didn’t see one on I was wonder if the motor needs it or not. I think mine stuck open and it Boggs down was just going to block it off any feed back?
Can you tell me why my xr6 150 won’t piss? I replaced the water pump today and made sure the pipes were clears. Still won’t piss. Any help I’d appreciated!
Love this channel. For whatever reason, every video of yours that I watch it's either raining on your end or raining here.
Lol seems like it's always raining when I decide to shoot. Thanks for watching!

Great job my friend
Just a suggestion you should do a video of how much it cost to do that rebuild

Thanks man! I actually designed and made them myself.

Depends on the extent of the damage. I'm happy to diagnose/service it for you.
I got a 1998 150xr6. Man it takes for ever to get started what to can I do to make it start faster.
Check fuel and reeds.
How did you change that plastic oil pump gear?

It was difficult to hear your voice even with volume all the way up.
Can you talk closer to the microphone, please?
Did you check the heads for warpage and correct it? It makes the heads seal much better
👍👍👍👍👍
Can you do a video on rebuilding the carburetors and link and sync?
In my overheating troubleshooting video I do a carb build.
Hi i have the same motor and I am thinking that the upper crank bearings how difficult is to do it by myself???
Depends on what your capable of.
What is the Main Jet size?

Where are you located?
Where do I find out where to find fuel diagram for 98 150xr6
Can you tell me why my xr6 150 won’t piss? I replaced the water pump today and made sure the pipes were clears. Still won’t piss. Any help I’d appreciated!
Did you find a solution to why it didn't piss after me impeller?

@@SmalltownBassin thank you sir
Looking to buy a 2003 Mercury 150 xr6. Has low compression on one cylinder. Has been converted to premix. Any suggestions on the low compression?
Pull the head and look.
@@SmalltownBassin don't know if the owner will let me do that to his motor
What was the compression number and which hole?
@@SmalltownBassin don't know that information yet
@@SmalltownBassin top cylinder on the starboard side. 40 PSI. Runs good. Have video.
Do you have another power head like that for sale? Looking for one to replace mine has low PSI.
No, sorry
Try mercury power tune. It increased the compression on my motor 12 psi
its not good to rev it up like that on the water hose
Can u rebuild my bass boat
She Bad
Where are you located?
