Mercury outboard 45 HP

Won't start after running great and it just died all of a sudden. Water pump or starter solenoid is what I will check first. Thanks, Mark Sholund

Depending on the year motor, make sure the throttle is in the neutral position, drop the lower unit and the motor foot should come off, will probably take some wiggling and with the age of the motor, possibly a few light taps around the cavitation plate with a mallet would be helpful.

SOURCE: 9.8 hp mercury outboard shutting off in low idle speed.

My problem ended up being the spring on the reed valve being weak.But at the same time and while I had already had my carb broke down I took a can of carb cleaner to it and cleaned it. In order to replace the spring on reed valve you will have to buy a new one, but don't worry I only payed about $6.00 for mine. You may also look into replacing your primer bulb if you haven't already because may allowing air to build up in your gas line while you are basically idiling.Once you get the carb straightened out you may have to reajust it again. If I might be able to help you again you may contact me at [email protected].

SOURCE: Looking for a starter solenoid wiring diagram

save yourself some money and go get a lawn mower solenoid and find a way to mount it yourself. I have done a johnson outboard and a tigershark jet ski this way with no problems.

I need the type and info on my Mercury Classic 50 outboard motor

serial number is what you need and try looking on the starter or the switch box ( square box with lots of wires on as they have dates on also ) take pictures of engine in and outside as if decals are original it will date it as well ! take to or email your nearest dealer with all info and they date your engine no problem !

Yamaha 90 hp outboard died out while using it....could not start again.

If the fuel pump IS working, and it runs on starter fluid. then the carburetor float may be stuck or the jet is stopped up.

Water pump

The water pump is a flexible impellor located in the top of the bottom section of the leg of the outboard. It is driven by the drive shaft to the prop that is spinning all the time the motor is running. You will find it behind or near the water inlet slots at the bottom of the leg

I have a 20 hp mecury jet outboard motor that runs fine out of water but as soon as you put it in the water it'll run for a few seconds and then die and will not run again. It will soind like it&#

the rubber components of the fuel system from the tank, primer bulb hoses , fuel pump all deteriorate internally and the small rubber failings get to the carby and block all of the run circuits
experience says take it to a mercury service center and have the carby/s professionally overhauled as doing ti at home generally misses the important bits
never use e-mix fuels as the ethanol attracts water and the combination rots metal bits and hoses

My 1993 mercury sable has been sitting an a garage for four years the battery was bad so I replaced.now when I go to start it it Wil clik one time but it won't turn over. Why won't it start?

Sounds like the starter is bad. The one click would be the solenoid on the starter engaging but the starter does not turn. If it does not click the next time you try to start, then that would indicate the solenoid is sticking. Also ensure that the cable to starter is good and the connections are tight. The starter will have 2 wires. 1 heavy wire that runs the starter itself and a lighter wire that runs the solenoid. The second wire seems good. Also ensure there is not an inline fuse in the starter cable. Some cable incorporate the inline fuse in case the wire shorts out to the chassis.
