Hello Joe, I am writing from Turkey. I have the same engine. After the first operation, I cannot start it again for a long time. I was worried about going on a long road, but last time it stopped suddenly. In short, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Hello erdoganordukaya, thanks for watching. A no start can be many things. First check if your spark plugs are good then check if they get a good spark on start. Bad spark will cause hard start. When it starts does your engine run rough? If it’s really rough, it could be because your reed valve are damaged. They are other things to check first. If you have a hard time starting it, always pull to prime button and put it back in place before starting. It will shoot a little spray of fuel to help it start. Also make sure your fuel bulb is pumped hard. That can only help the start of your engine. If your carburetor is gunk up, running some Seafoam into it to clean it. When running, is your idol good? Your idle screw might need a little adjustment. Also, you might need to adjust your air fuel mixture screw, but that’s one of the last things to do. Let me know and good luck 👍
@@joetheboatguy5394 Thank you very much for taking the time to provide me with the information. Can you give me an e-mail or phone number so that I can send you a video?
Hello erdogannordukaya, sorry i can’t give that kind of information. I would receive endless emails lol. I will try to find a way. I will get back to you soon.
Hello erdoganordukaya, you will need to create a dropbox and send me the link that should work. they are some free sites to share videos. Let me know :)
I have the same motor and for a 2 stroke the primer bulb on your fuel line going to your gas tank so you squeeze it until it's hard or only once or twice
Hey joe. Been a while. Hope you've been well. You don't happen to have a video on how to connect this 25 HP after it's been disconnected from the boat? It is now sitting on a stand, and no controls. But I want to be able to fire it up to show to people to try to sell it. I'm still an amateur at this stuff and trying to figure out how I can hook up the gas line and safely connect the battery so that I can just pull start it on the stand. I'd rather not connect the controls to it and just be able to pull start it but then I guess it'll be a problem how to put it in gear to show people forward and reverse if there's a video that shows how to connect the controls back onto it even better cuz I do still have the controls I'm just intimidated how to connect everything back to the motor because the mechanic disconnected everything when I wasn't there. Thanks so much
Hi Mike, I'm doing good, I hope your doing well. OK so you have 4 wire coming out of the outboard (Black, Red, Yellow with red stripe and Black with yellow stripe on it). To start you engine you will need a 12V battery. You will connect your red wire to positive of the battery and black wire to the negative of the battery. At this point you can start you outboard by pull rope. Make sure your kill switch next to pull to prime button is off. If your switch is at the down position then your engine wont start (needs to be up). Once started, to turn your engine off you need to flip the kill switch to down position it will shut off engine. If you don't want to start with pull rope. We have 2 wires left. The "Yellow with red stripe" will be your started engine wire. As soon as that wire touches the positive of the battery your engine will try to start. Basically it's your cranking wire. Once your engine is started, disconnect the "Yellow with red stripe" from the 12V (positive of the battery). Basically grab the wire and make the the striped part of the wire touch the positive of the battery. When started just put the wire aside. if this make you uncomfortable just start it with pull rope :) And the last wire (Black with yellow stripe) is for extra kill switch which you wont need if your shutting your outboard with kill switch next to pull to prime button. So don't connect this wire. Now for the controls, do you have the stick that comes with the engine? You would need to install it to have control of the acceleration and gear. I can't help you with that since i don't even have that lever that connect to outboard. my engine always has been on the side hand controller. Very important, While the engine is running always keep your red and black wire connected on the battery. If you disconnect it while engine is on, it can damage your voltage regulator. Hope this helps :)
@@joetheboatguy5394 Hey Joe. I'm SO sorry. I had a ton of personal things happening when you replied and I forgot to reply. I do understand your instructions to a certain degree, but I'm still not sure on a couple. I might do the same thing I did last time, and make a short video of what I have so you can see. Your description of the wiring makes sense, but I have a connector that was pulled out by the mechanic when he took my motor off (when swapping with another). And for controls, I have similiar thing as you I think. I don't have the tiller handle/stick attached to motor. I have the 2 cables that go from motor and connect to a separate throttle that was connected to a steering wheel. But again, my motor is no longer connected to the boat - an older, 50HP from 1975 is (which is NOT working and this whole thing has been a nightmare). So for the 25HP motor, I have the motor itself on a stand, and a throttle control on the floor with the 2 cables, disconnected from the motor. I'm not sure how to connect the throttle control to the motor inside (if you know what I mean). And I definitely don't have access to the steering wheel to reconnect to the motor. I don't care about steering of course. I just want to be able to start the motor, put it in forward and give it gas by increasing throttle. AGain, when I can, I'll try and send you a short 1 min or less video of what I have, including showing you inside motor with cover off. And I do have access to connect it to a battery as well. thanks again ! I'm now trying to find a video of a person who has replaced an ignition switch box on the 1975 50HP mercury outboard motor. It's a rare motor as it was the only year they made it, and apparently that's because of the poor design and/or failure rates of this damn ignition switch box that failed. I just spent 700.00 ordering a new one from mercury that's on its wya and i've already spent a ton with a local mechanic, so I took the boat back and I don't want to have to spend more for him to replace the ignition switch. I think I can do it, but would have been nice to see somebody with a video on it but not 1 person. It's all good. Take care!
Hey Mike, I understand that life can be unpredictable, so there's nothing to worry about. Don't spend all your money if the outboard is causing you many problems. Send me the video when you have time no rush. I will try to do a private video this weekend regarding the accelerator connection. I will send you the link. 👍
Hello great video, I was wondering though on the shifter controller there is an idle lever, is it alright to push up as far as it will go when starting, I had a guy tell me I can damage the motor because in neutral the idle lever doesn t advance the timing and i will get pre detination. If you could help it would be apreciated. Thanks
Hi robertbard, Thanks for watching. The "fast idle" on the side controls is for older carbureted boats. You pop the boat into neutral and use the fast idle to let the motor warm up for a minute before use. But NO I wouldn't push up as far as it will go when starting RPM will be max out. Not good for Engine, can cause damage to your engine :(
Hey - you cant tell me or show me in the engine how to get WOT to fully adjust the pulley inside to get max rpm please? When i push throttle fully forward everything moves correctly but there is still some more play in the black plastic thing
Hi NickW0771, Thanks for watching. The round the black plastic has 2 white lines that should be aligned with the carburetor pin when in Idle. When I’m at full throttle my carburetor pin is at ¾ of the round the black plastic so aligned accelerator stem. Let me know if this helps 😊
Its it supposed to shake like that? Mine does too. I noticed others on videos that shake and jerk as well making me feel better now I see others d oinb it
I have the same motor, but everyday when I leave it overnight the next day it will only start with Carb cleaner and after the first start it would start after each shutdown without the need of a carb cleaner. Its only when the engine sits overnight. Any idea why?
Hi Hamond, thank you for watching. Are you running the right spark plugs? I know that sound elementary but it can affect cold starts especially. Check your spark plug cable make sure no cracks on them. Also check spark plugs make sure they are healthy. Another thing but rarely the problem, fuel filter make sure it’s changed. If you pull the “pull to prime” button it should help to start your engine when cold. It sprays a little fuel to help it start. Last thing to check would be your reeds but that’s an easy check. Let us know how it goes 👍
I had that problem and the plastic float pin "stop" had broken and the pin was popping out of its supports after a couple of float cycles. My solution was buying a long float pin. By using a pong float pin the edge of the pladtic bowl acts as a stop.
Hi johnmurphy, thanks for watching , that’s a very dangerous switch. I warned you don’t touch it 😂 just kidding. That’s the kill switch for the engine 👍
@@joetheboatguy5394 does it attach to a lanyard? (My buddy has one he is thinking of buying. I’m trying to figure the little stuff out for him). I’m assuming there’s a clip that flips the switch down if it’s yanked on?
I’m sure there’s a way to attach to lanyard. I don’t use it since I have a steering wheel and hand throttle so my kill switch is on my hand throttle . But something like this would surely work Boat Outboard Emergency Stop Kill Switch Key Set with Lanyard for Johnson, Evinrude, Yamaha Universal (Red) on amazon
Great video thanks. I have same exact motor. Question; person I bought boat from has it connected to a throttle with steering wheel. In the throttle it mentiond "choke" as well. Do i still need to push in/pull out this choke knob on actual motor if its connected to steering wheel? Also, I find my boat initially starts ok. But while its idling (before I give throttle/gas), it "putt putts" a lot in idle (similar to how yours sounds in idle) but entine usually shuts off if I dont give it gas immediately after starting. Ever run into this issue? Im also about to start boat up for first time since it was winterized and I sadly dont know where the water hose connects :( I will put that sea foam in. Thanks!
Hi mikecorazza, I have a steering wheel and throttle also, but I don't have the choke option on it. When you activate the choke on your throttle do you see anything move on your engine side? Your choke on the throttle side might not be connected to outboard. Pull to prime button is a little more then just opening the choke. It also injects a little gas to help engine start better. For the “putt putts” might need to change your reeds or adjust the fuel and air mixture with the screw Infront of the carburetor. If you do adjust screw, “mark it first”, this screw can be tricky to adjust. I will have a video soon how to change reeds on outboard, I changed them this weekend and the outboard sounds much smoother. For the water you need to purchase water clamps to put at the bottom water entry of the outboard. Hope this helps. 😊
@joetheboatguy5394 thanks for this info it will certainly help! Is there a way for me to attach a photo of how my setup is with throttle to this chat? Or email to you? Also, how were you able to make your motor have power trim? Every time I drop in at the boat launch I have to lean over the edge and pull little release tab or whatever it's called and lift entire motor out of water, drop back down, ljff back up etc. Not sure how you have an electric setup so motor tilts out of water?? Are you able to attach pics or if leave an email address? Thanks so much !!
Hi mikecorazza, unfortunately TH-cam chat doesn’t lets us attach photo’s. For the e-mail request I have done it once and it was a fiasco LOL. Was receiving e-mail and calls even over night. So I learned quickly that, that was a little mistake. If we can find another way would be great.

@joetheboatguy5394 appreciate the reply. I get the reservations about putting an email out there so I totally get that. If I can think of another way as well I'll let you know. And I have the exact same motor as you on a 16 and 1/2 ft aluminum alumacraft. My motor is 1989 and boat built in 1978 . Whoever set up the boat before me, also added a steering wheel with a throttle and that little handle that goes up to make idling faster. I checked that link and item no longer available but ill look for alternate and thanks for idea.
Hi chrispeterson, Thanks for watching. I will send you to another video I made so it will show you what I'm talking about when I say "metal rod". You will see the metal rod at 33sec of this video, the metal rod that is connected to your plastic upside down plastic L. The plastic upside down L you see at the right of the screen in the video it is connected to you knob. If you turn your nob right for increase idle you will see the upside down plastic L pull the metal rod connected to it. That metal rod goes to your idle (golden colour) Rod. You can see this idle rod on the same video at 1.58min top left corner. So make sure by turning you idle knob your plastic upside down L should be pushing metal rob when turning left and pulling metal rod when turning knob right. Here the video: th-cam.com/video/qFLHL7AjYxw/w-d-xo.html Let me know if this help. Not sure I was clear
I just purchased one 25 hp , 2 stroke. It pee like the one in the video but the water is hot. I can hold the hand under water but feel burning. I wander if is ok? Thanks
Hi Jan, thank you for watching. For the hot water, is your engine re-using the same water, do you have your engine in a barrel? Or is it coming hot out from the Lake or River? If you’re re-using the same water for sure it’s gonna start heating up with time. If it’s not the same water than some thing might be clogged in your system because the water does come out warm but not hot. What you can try and do is blow some air with a compressor in your cooling water exit. Let me know 👍
Hi, would be hard to say without the serial number. Get your serial number and enter it at this website and look under carburetor section you should find it… 👍 www.perfprotech.com/mercury-marine-parts-catalog/collection/01/mercury
Get rid of that grey fuel line and get some fuel line from a automotive store. The lining will break down and cause a lot of problems in the carburetor. Especially if you use ethanol gas.

Leaks gas from where? If it’s from carburetor. You will need to get it cleaned. Also check your gas filter… From Google: When the tip of the valve becomes worn or debris prevents the closing of the valve, fuel flows continuously into the bowl thus flooding the engine. Under severe conditions gas may soak the air filter or overflow out of the carburetor and onto the ground while parked. Let us know 👍

Hi mikecorazza, I have a steering wheel and throttle also, but I don't have the choke option on it. When you activate the choke on your throttle do you see anything move on your engine side? Your choke on the throttle side might not be connected to outboard. Pull to prime button is a little more then just opening the choke. It also injects a little gas to help engine start better. For the “putt putts” might need to change your reeds or adjust the fuel and air mixture with the screw Infront of the carburetor. If you do adjust screw, “mark it first”, this screw can be tricky to adjust. I will have a video soon how to change reeds on outboard, I changed them this weekend and the outboard sounds much smoother. For the water you need to purchase water clamps to put at the bottom water entry of the outboard. Hope this helps. 😊
@joetheboatguy5394 thanks for this info it will certainly help! Is there a way for me to attach a photo of how my setup is with throttle to this chat? Or email to you? Also, how were you able to make your motor have power trim? Every time I drop in at the boat launch I have to lean over the edge and pull little release tab or whatever it's called and lift entire motor out of water, drop back down, ljff back up etc. Not sure how you have an electric setup so motor tilts out of water?? Are you able to attach pics or if leave an email address? Thanks so much !!
Hi mikecorazza, unfortunately TH-cam chat doesn’t lets us attach photo’s. For the e-mail request I have done it once and it was a fiasco LOL. Was receiving e-mail and calls even over night. So I learned quickly that, that was a little mistake. If we can find another way would be great.
For the electric tilt I have a CMC (I will paste a model at the end of the chat to show you) you would have to find what model is good for your outboard and boat.

@joetheboatguy5394 appreciate the reply. I get the reservations about putting an email out there so I totally get that. If I can think of another way as well I'll let you know. And I have the exact same motor as you on a 16 and 1/2 ft aluminum alumacraft. My motor is 1989 and boat built in 1978 . Whoever set up the boat before me, also added a steering wheel with a throttle and that little handle that goes up to make idling faster. I checked that link and item no longer available but ill look for alternate and thanks for idea.
i turn this knob and nothing happens no idle increase or decrease, any ideas?
Hi chrispeterson, Thanks for watching. I will send you to another video I made so it will show you what I'm talking about when I say "metal rod". You will see the metal rod at 33sec of this video, the metal rod that is connected to your plastic upside down plastic L.
The plastic upside down L you see at the right of the screen in the video it is connected to you knob. If you turn your nob right for increase idle you will see the upside down plastic L pull the metal rod connected to it. That metal rod goes to your idle (golden colour) Rod. You can see this idle rod on the same video at 1.58min top left corner.
So make sure by turning you idle knob your plastic upside down L should be pushing metal rob when turning left and pulling metal rod when turning knob right.
Here the video: th-cam.com/video/qFLHL7AjYxw/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if this help. Not sure I was clear
Do you know how I install a new one? Please help
Hey Doge 2DA MOON, thanks for watching. I never replaced one so I can’t help you. But hopefully someone might answer the question 🤞
@E Martin, would you have the answer to the question? Thanks 🙂
I just purchased one 25 hp , 2 stroke. It pee like the one in the video but the water is hot. I can hold the hand under water but feel burning. I wander if is ok? Thanks
Hi Jan, thank you for watching. For the hot water, is your engine re-using the same water, do you have your engine in a barrel? Or is it coming hot out from the Lake or River? If you’re re-using the same water for sure it’s gonna start heating up with time. If it’s not the same water than some thing might be clogged in your system because the water does come out warm but not hot. What you can try and do is blow some air with a compressor in your cooling water exit. Let me know 👍
Looks to me thermostat is not working properly as it should open to release cold water when at given temperature
Mine broke, is there a way that I can replace/buy a new one?
Hi Julian, thanks for watching. Look under Google search for “Primer Knob 128022” you should see some results for knob.
@@joetheboatguy5394 I have a 20 hp 2 stroke mercury outboard though, would it still be the same part I’m looking for?
Hi, would be hard to say without the serial number. Get your serial number and enter it at this website and look under carburetor section you should find it… 👍

Thanks for the help @habitat009. :)
What year is this motor?
Hi N L, thanks for watching, the engine is 1993 👍
Get rid of that grey fuel line and get some fuel line from a automotive store. The lining will break down and cause a lot of problems in the carburetor. Especially if you use ethanol gas.
Hi Joseph Beecher, thank you for your comment. Are you sure this line does what you say? Let us know 👍

You're confusing me with choke open and closed, I believe you have it backwards.
Hi Kenhart, thanks for watching, when I say open choke mean it let more air in. Closed choke will let less air in. Hope this helps :)
Mine just leaks gas when I start it and won’t run. Any suggestions?
Leaks gas from where? If it’s from carburetor. You will need to get it cleaned. Also check your gas filter…
From Google: When the tip of the valve becomes worn or debris prevents the closing of the valve, fuel flows continuously into the bowl thus flooding the engine. Under severe conditions gas may soak the air filter or overflow out of the carburetor and onto the ground while parked.
