I just purchased the same motor. Does it take a special "Mercury" fitting for the gas line connection at the motor or is it the typical one that so many outboards have as essentially "standard"?
recently was given a 1995 mercury outboard 8hp @10:58 the rod you are holding with right hand was just sitting inside it and I can not find a diagram as to show where it connects to under the pull start. Any help would be much appreciated. lol
@@chadschafer3890 lol kind of. It's the least of the problems as I can't even get it to spark. I put the project on the back burner as I had two other outboards to work on.
Looks like lots of "residual" oil in the machine...needs a hard run to burn it out. If not then your mix is to heavy. Merc oil is noted for smoking more....slow speeds can make it build up. I use other oils synthetic and purple stuff....far less smoke, and trolling all day keeps a nice running motor. Careful with the carb kits some are junk.
I know I should but it’s a brand new line and tank so I just take my chances. But you’re 100% correct. If I didn’t know the history of the fuel line. Gone. Quicksilver (mercury brand) still use and sell this junk everyday. Not sure the benefits of plastic core. Thanks for watching
The Quartermaster* Your video did not mention purchasing a carburetor rebuild kit. Nor did you show installing the new gasket or replacing the o ring and needle jet. You can not reuse the o ring or gasket! You did not even show gaping the new spark plugs to the manufacturers specs. This video gets an "f"
I always try to do a separate carb rebuild video of the projects I video. I did one for this motor. Give that video a watch and it might fill in some of the gaps I missed along the way. Thanks for watching
The Quartermaster* Thanks for replying. I'm glad to hear you had the repair kit and used it. Without knowing the whole story, it looked like someone was in for some real heartburn! I look forward to more of your videos!
If I had money, I tell you what Id do. Id go downtown and buy a Mercury or two. Great video. Do a Johnson 9.9 next so I can fix my pos.

You will need a mercury specific connector for that motor.
Awsome video helped me out alot
Thanks for watching man. I’m working on getting a Honda 50hp outboard in here. Sub to the channel and keep an eye out for that one.
Nice video! Can you please tell me, where the little hose under is used for? I forgot to putnit on and there was leaking fuel.
I believe that’s just a vent hose. I don’t think that would cause your problem. Probably the float is stuck is my guess
@@thesmallengineguy6924 ok thanks. I will check the floater.
great video quick question her did you get the tub you are running the outboard in?
It’s the recycling bin from the city I live in. It’s perfect for most smaller outboards.

you figure it out?

Fresh "Mixed" gas right?
Yes. 50:1 pre mixed gas in this one.
Just subscribed I'm doing the same thing. Uploading while i fix outboards on TH-cam!
Thanks man. You got my sub. I’ll check out some of your vids.

Definitely think you’re right. I might take this one to the river in the spring give to a run. Thanks for watching
Say hey to the UP, eh?
Get rid off that grey original mercury fuel hose ASAP!! it will deteriorate inside after it meets with fuel after long off time!
