I have a 200 hp Mercury outboard 2 stroke
You should never jpatagonia fleece pullover patternump start an outboard engine. The electronicspatagonia graphic synchilla fleece on the engine can be damaged doing this. In a way you can jump start it, just not the way you are used to. You should disconnect the outboard battery cables and all other cables from the battery, then you can use a jump pack or a vehicle to charge the battery. Once charged disconnect the jump pack or vehicle and re connect the cables to your battery.
If ypatagonia black hole pack reviewou can, get me the serial number off the motor. The picture below will show you where to look for the serial number. At this point you want to check the basics. Start with a good battery, charge yours and have it load tested. Any auto parts store should have a load tester to check the battery. A compression and spark test woupatagonia shoes store locatorld be next. Do you have a compression gauge and an adjustable gap spark tester?
The charger you using should be fine. The brown stuff may be from the ethanol, but it most likely varnish / gunk from old fuel. Ethanol is an excellent cleaner and will break this free from the fuel tank and other places. Without stabilizer the fuel starts to turn into this varnish / gunk in as little as 4 6 weeks.
The main reason I want you to do the compression test is because you ran the engine and now it won run. The brown flakes you found are also going to be in the carburetors and may have the jets either partially clogged or fully clogged. If they were partially clogged when you rapatagonia coats cheapn the boat this would cause a lean condition and can easily melt a piston down or cause piston ring and cylinder wall damage. The reason for the spark test is just to verify you have spark on all 6 cylinders. Your most likely problem is in the carburetors, but there no since in putting time and money into the fuel system ifinexpensive patagonia fleece the compression is low or you have no spark.
You should be able to get both tools at a local auto parts store fairly cheap. I would say $50.00 or less for both tools. If you have some mechanic friends ask if you capatagonia coats cheap2n borrow them as they are standard tools for any engine mechanic.
On compression it best to start with a warm engine, so run it a few minutes either on the water hose or at the lake, then shut it off and remove all 6 spark plugs. Inspect all 6 spark plugs to see how they are burning or if there is any water or metal shavings on any of them. Pull the kill switch lanyarpatagonia better sweater stripe prussian blued to disable the ignition and screw your compression gauge into the first cylinder. Use the throttle only advance patagonia hiking new zealandon the control box to open the throttle as far as it will go then spin the engine over with the starter until the needle on the compression gauge quits climbing. Record the number you get and repeat these steps on the other 5 cylinders. I usually like to check all cylinders again just to confirm the numbers. If there is more than a 10% difference between any two cylinders this could indicate anything from a blown head gasket to a bad cylinder. Just let me know what compression numbers you get on each cylinder.
On spark re install the kill switch lanyard and set your spark tester at a 1/2 gap. The sparpatagonia coats cheap3k from each plug wire should be able to jump this gap easily and be blue in color. Let mpatagonia coats cheap1e know if any cylinders don have spark or a weak spark (red or orange color) and which cylinders.
I will get the guages tomm. Where is the kill switch lanyard? Do I screw the compression gauge in where the spark plug goes? Do I turn the engine ovepatagonia outlet store 1015r with the key? I can get engine to crank so I can warm it for compression test. Hopefully problem is gunk in carb., but how did it get past filter? Was it in bowls when I put it up? How easy would it be to disassemble carbs to clean jets. I have limited experience w/ cars but have only messed w/ carbs once, never on a boat. Is there something to walk me through process since it seems I will prob have to clean them?
Sorry about saying to warm the engine up, I just wasn thinking. Right now a cold compression check will be fine just to determine if there are any major problems. On the compression gauge, yes it screws into the spark plug hole and you spin the engine over with the key switch, so you have to make sure the battery has a good charge.
The kill switch is sometimes called the safety switch. It should have what looks like a coiled string and clip on it so you can connect it to your self. It in case you fall out of the boat it kills the engine. They are usually mounted on the dash or on the control box.
When you stored the boat there was still old fuel in the carburetors. This fuel turned into varnish / gunk while in storage. When you started running fuel through it came loose and started stopping things up. Cleaning the carburetors isn a huge job, so if you messed around with cars a little you should be able to handle it. We do some testing to make sure that the problem before you actually do it. If it comes up I should be able to get you a link to the service manual for the engine so you can download it and have a guide to walk you through cleaning them. That and if you get stuck anywhere doing it or have questions about something in particular I be glad to help.
If the kill switch is a flip swith, which most Mercurys are, then just flip it to off. Otherwise it uses a plastic clip to either hold the switch up or down, in which case you would just remove the plastic clip.
If the problem isn in compression or spark and you can get it to run there are a few tests you can do to see if any cylinpatagonia guide jacket valetders are running lean at idle, but at higher RPMs it hard to test. After 4 6 months of sitting I would at least pull the carburetors to take them apart and inspect so you safe.
I went ahead and found the service manual for your engine and you can download it by clicking here. It a fairly large file, 15.1 MB, so it may take a while to download. I posting this as an answer, but there no need for you to click on accept as you already have once.
Wonderful service, prompt, efficient, and accurate. Couldn t have asked for more. I cannot thank you enough for your help.
I couldn t be more satisfied! This is the site I will always come to when I need a second opinionpatagonia coats cheap0.
Just let me say that this encounter has been entirely professional and most helpful. I liked that I could ask additional questions and get answered in a very short turn around.
