Old plug Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 All this talk about mercur. Just getting sure your Merciry is not a Yahama. I got a 115 Merc 4 stroke 2001 model and that power head is pure Yahama. Only problem I Have had is with fuel jets. Can be expensive to fix until I learned how to fix them myself.

Tanderson15 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I have a 97 Merc EFI 175 and it has a ton of hours on it. Still pushes the old Triton multi species up 58 when it’s cool. Only maintenance is plugs and water pumps. Now watch first time out this year I’ll have go see fishinwrench.
176champion Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I have a 1995 135 merc 2.0litre and i knock on wood every time i fire it up, i premix my oil and gas and i turn it 6100 rpms when i run flat out, pushes my little 1989 17'6" CHAMP 60 MPH GPS, usually only run 40 -45 mph...

Those are among the best in the reliability department. The tiny screens on the business ends of the injectors need to be removed and thrown away, but usually after that has been done those mid-90's throttle body EFI's are pretty bulletproof. Stupidest place to put a filter if you ask me. If it's small enough to pass through an injector then go ahead and let the motor eat it. Don't hold it back and let it reduce fuel flow into the cylinder. WTH were they thinking? dtrs5kprs 1
Tanderson15 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Fishinwrench I think I’ll leave them as it is a gas burner. Kind of like flushing a toilet

Kind of like flushing a toilet It'll be a piston burner if one of those useless screens gets partially plugged. Lean on fuel means lean on lubrication also.
