Not sure where to start. I've had my 1996 mercury 6 running fine for a while now. Was getting an air leak into the fuel line so I removed the quick disconnect and just put a straight barb fitting and clamps in place instead - this was a while back and its been running good for some weeks now...

Having a new problem with my motor. Was running fine yesterday and day before with no issues... Today I took it out and it would no longer siphon the fuel from the tank. I had to keep pumping the primer every 2 minutes or so in order to keep it running. Fuel tank, line, and primer bulb are...

What's up guys? I have a thread in the projects section (kinda missed the *completed* part, whoops) that I'll use to follow my complete project, I'd like to ask my questions over here in this thread though, to keep the project thread pretty clean. Not really intending for this project to take...

What's up guys? Decided on an impulse buy just yesterday and figured I'd drop in here and start a little journal that documents my progress with my boat. Purchased it for $450. Came with a trolling motor and trailer. After titling trailer, registering boat, grabbing a battery and a bilge...
