I can't believe how clean that sounds! I've got the same motor. Last service was maybe 2013, changed the impeller. Only run 4-5 times since. It's been stored in a shed over winter in cold Canada for the last 2 years without starting. I ran it 5 days ago for 10 minutes, but can't get her going again since. Where do I start!!! Plugs are clean NGK, water was coming out the side tube even I ran it 5 days ago.
Hi there! I've got a 7.5 similar to this and I can't get it to pump water. I've put a water pump kit in in, replaced the grommet and plastic washer at the base of the powerhead, and I've had the powerhead off and made sure it is clear by running water through it. I also made sure the water pump worked by putting a drill on the LU. Could it have something to do with exhaust pressure? Thanks, Matt
hello could you tell me a little more about the engine. I have exactly the same and mine does not advance. the engine does not change speed when I am in the open water. I do not understand. which propeller do you have? I hope you can help me
The 9” 2 blade works good for me with my 14 ft Richline. I can get about 21 mph with just me in the boat and I get about 13 to 16 mph with another person.
Nice motor!! I just had my 1972 mercury 9.8 rebuilt completely, runs great but I cannot get more than 10-11mph out of her. I adjusted the carb so it idles good and runs good. Any advice on why I'm not getting the full speed? Should I trim the motor up more? I've got it on the 2nd hole out......I'm running it on a 12ft v hull aluminium boat so it should fly
The only video that I have on that is the full tune up on a 1955 5.5 Johnson but it is about 98% the same only different is the part number for the power head base gasket.
You ever wonder why its a 9.8 instead of the normal 9.9. My guess is if you were on a lake that banned 9.9hp and above this motor would be the cats pajamas.
Beautiful runner brother
good job, nice to see you back on the water.
Sounds great, especially at idle.
St Francis MN, I’m here in Becker MN , nice little motor I have one too, just like the one you have there
I love it!
Even I can appreciate a classic merc
You were close, Ben. By the decals, it's a '72. I've had several 9.8's, wonderful motors. Nice job.
Can we see Pepper?

Clean the carb man
Thanks. Will give it a go
Fuel line and bulb. The carb just has a little diaphragm to pull fuel. A shitty fuel line or bulb and you lose all your vacuum
You should do a little history / review on each

Do you have any work videos on your Mercury's 9.8's ?
I bought an identical 9.8 to this. Do you know what the best prop would be for a 14ft v bottom with 2 people. Thanks

I have one just like it. Where can I get gas tank and fuel lines?

is your prop possible slipping if the prop is org you should check it
How much did it cost for you to rebuild your 72 completely?
@@LetYourLightSoShine999 about 600 bucks

Someone told me you might have a video on replacing the impeller on a 1956 Evinrude 5.5???
The only video that I have on that is the full tune up on a 1955 5.5 Johnson but it is about 98% the same only different is the part number for the power head base gasket.
@@chrysleroutboarddude thank you. I’ll look that up.

Do you happen to sell any of your motors? I’m looking for an 8-12 hp older well running motor for my 1963 Alumacraft model A. Thanks
