To start a Mercury 85 hp outboard engine after a long period of inactivity, first, inspect the fuel system for any stale fuel and replace it with fresh fuel mixed with the appropriate oil ratio. Check the battery charge and connections, ensuring they are clean and secure. Inspect the engine for any visible signs of wear or damage, and ensure the water intake is clear. Finally, prime the fuel bulb, turn the ignition on, and attempt to start the engine, allowing it to warm up before full operation.

For a 2000 model: The Spark Plug (1) is located in the rear of the engine (opposite the pull start), beneath the gas tank. There is an access hatch. It can also be seen apon removal of the upper engine housing cover.
Mercury Marine began producing four-stroke outboard engines in the late 1990s. The company introduced its first four-stroke outboard, the Mercury 4-Stroke 15 HP, in 1999. Since then, Mercury has expanded its four-stroke lineup, focusing on performance, fuel efficiency, and environmental compliance.
To rebuild a lower unit on a 40hp Mercury outboard, start by removing the lower unit from the engine by unscrewing the bolts and disconnecting the shift linkage. Drain the gear oil and disassemble the lower unit, noting the arrangement of parts. Replace worn components such as seals, bearings, and the water pump, then reassemble the unit, ensuring all parts are properly aligned. Finally, refill with the appropriate gear oil and reinstall the lower unit on the outboard.
Model number J20ELCCA is a 20 hp Johnson outboard, electric start, long shaft, 1988 model, outboard engine.
Yes, a bad stator can prevent a Mercury outboard from firing. The stator is responsible for generating the electricity needed to power the ignition system and other electrical components. If it fails, the engine may not receive the necessary spark to start. However, other issues could also cause starting problems, so it's essential to diagnose the entire ignition system.
Mercury Marine began producing outboard motors with electronic fuel injection (EFI) technology in 1989. This innovation allowed for improved fuel efficiency and performance in their engines. EFI has since become a standard feature in many of their outboard models.
ELPT on a 50hp Mercury 4-stroke outboard stands for "Electric Start, Long Shaft, Power Trim." This designation indicates that the outboard features an electric starting system, a longer shaft length suitable for larger boats, and a power trim feature that allows for easy adjustment of the motor's angle while underway. These features enhance the convenience and performance of the outboard in various boating conditions.
Mercury outboard serial number 1897280, is a 1966 year model, 50 hp. A listing of serial numbers and model years can be found at the link below. Your unit is listed as a 1977 with these possible models: - E (electric start) - L (long shaft -20") - M (manual rope start)
A 15 hp Mercury outboard, serial number OG123138, would be a 1995 year model. This is all the information that can be retrieved from the info given. As far as a particular model, in a small outboard, it could be either a 15M, (manual start), 15E, (electric start), 15ML, or 15EL, the "L" denoting a longshaft model.
