They do not cost 17k new

I have a 94 like this, Ben reliable but it just did something weird. Motor runs great and trying to take off it would begin accelerate but then suddenly rev up like it was unloading before it could plane out. Never did this before. Then when I tried to pull it back into neutral it wouldn't go into neutral but was stuck and forward. Check the cables and they're both good and hooked up properly. Took the cables off and throttle control work smoothly all the way forward and backward, but when they're hooked up it will not pull the shifter back out of forward. Do you think the lower unit might be damaged or is it a linkage problem? I haven't hit anything with the lower unit or prop, there's been no grinding or clunking noises, no warning at all it just did it the first time I took it out today after sitting for two or three years

👍👍🥰

throw hit away that instrument is not good and defective mine was the same identical and on all engines it showed 90 psi or tried another pressure gauge and it immediately showed 125 psi in the same cylinder

I love this

wow

Thanks for sharing.

This is some years old , just curious did you ever sell this Motor?

Your supposed to perform a compression check with ALL of the spark plugs REMOVED. No Dyno...???

does a full load test not run the same rpms as what wot is supposed to be for a 225? im asking cuz im having issues with mine and watching videos trying to figure out what could be wrong with mine cuz i just spent $4k at the shop on it but it still didnt get the issue fixed

And right at 90 pounds 😂😂😂

How tf u cane up with them numbers 70-80 mph ??? Lmmfao! Ur a troll!

Do you ever have Suzuki Outboards that are for sale ?

Even pressures mean the motor doesn’t have any problems. 90 is really low and needs new piston rings at least. Should be above 120 and 150 usually new. Some are 200

😂😂 ever heard of a load wheel.

So how are you doing? Started the Remicade & Methotrexate combo? HLA-B27 negative? I'm from the metro N.O. area. I also considered making the trek to consult with Soloway. I was diagnosed with a Spondyloarthropathy a few years ago. It's been such a miserable experience for me as well. The worst part was the insidious onset and lack of help from the healthcare community. It took more than 15 years of diffuse and increasing pain levels before I chose to consult a Rheumatologist. Like you, I've seen multiple MDs over the years and not one suggested a Rheumatologist. I've wasted thousands of dollars over the years and put my life at risk by taking useless drugs. Some of the "specialists" I visited > Internists and Neurologists, a Psychiatrist, a Sleep Specialist/Neurologist, an Orthopedic, a Physical Therapist, and a Pain Mgmt doc.

metti in vasca due capperi, due pomodori, due scorfani, e ti esce la matalotta ;)

It's best to do this test with a warm engine, throttle plates open. Then a leak down test.

That’s low compression should be 135 psi

I have been around cars for 40 years i have played with quite a few outboards if a motor starts that easy there cant be to much wrong with it.

I guess we are blind

PUT THE COWL ON WITH IT IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT WHEN THEY COWL IS NOT ON

I've bought 2 items from the boat yard. each one is running to this day. theu have really good used equipment.

100 to 92 psi is the right compression jesus people just read mercury compression ratings for those years...im ase certified and a professional technician and you dont see me acting like a know it all.....i bet money that 90% of you on this post saying 140 psi have never done a compression test in there life......

A good Merc Opti mechanic just told me a good condition will have 120-125 psi.

The suzuki engine look really nice. But heard that 2001-2008 of suzuki outboard also having o2 sensor plug collusion problem, but after 2008 it was solved by suzuki. (should be law suit to suzuki BTW?!) I want to having one of df90a a little power plant for my little fishing boat in Hong Kong in later time, but still looking around Mercury or Suzuki.

sweet sound engine

Pretty worn engine.

Piece of shit!!

fajny motor

That is exactly what I get on mine.

dumbest viideo ever

If it ain't black it won't bring you back

First on the water

I have a 2000 Yamaha V4 2-stroke. Compression is 130-135 on all four cylinders. This Merc seemed to be running just fine

Some of the later model mercury outboards carry a lower comp than a 2L-2.5 liter engines.My 2.4 carries 136 psi on both banks. although, testing in a tank isn't a sufficient way of testing, a dyno test would be more justifiable.

hola .. tengo un johonson ocean runer 225 2t con 95 de comprecion x cilindro .cual seria la comprecion ideal para ese motor, gracias amigos

A 30" shaft tells me one thing. 1 SALT WATER, period...

I dare you to tilt it up can floor it like that....

It's a test prop, genius. It doesn't produce forward thrust, it just churns the water to load the motor. It ventilated because it's pulling air pockets into the test wheel.

I think that is amazing that even though you have that that much water available, you can still cavitate the prop. LOL!

That thing sounds WICKED sexy when throttled up under that kind of load. awesome!!!!

Whats your thoughts on a 98 vindicator 200

The Maverick Disc does not move in all directions like the M6 nor does it cushion like a original disc. The M6 does.There have been instances with the metal on metal design grinding together and causing blood poisoning with the Maverick. This also is happening with metal on metal hip replacements.When this happens the implant must be removed. I realize the M6 has a more complex design but it is the latest and greatest.

You want the Spinal Kinetics M6-L disc not the Maverick. Dr. Lang used to use the Maverick but now uses the M6. The M6 cervical disc is FDA approved. The Lumbar version is now in clinical trials and should be approved in a year or two. Keep in mind that in the US the FDA only approves disc replacement at one level of the spine. The patient can only have one level diseased to be a candidate. A doctor can do multiple levels off label but insurance will not cover it and it will be very expensive.

I had a M6 lumbar disc replacement done in May 2010 with Stenum at the L5-S1 level. The cost at that time was 28,000 Euros roughly $34,000. I was quoted in the US for a fusion at L5-S1 to cost $90,000 to $120,000. After the first level if a second or third is done each additional level was another 4,000 Euros or around $6,000.

Gotta love a 3 liter

Hell of a motor
