Hi there I spoke to u few weeks ago around my mercury 15hp losin power I took it to Shrewsbury mariner and had a stator assy fixed and my told it was workin then I took it out for the first time tonite and it was smoking a lot then die. Now the pull start is stuck now wot is wrong now

Pull cord stuck, sounds like the start in gear protection clip is broken or catching. Have a look for the white plastic clip on the top of the flywheel housing.

Y is it smokin so much then it wasn't before it Went in

Too much two stroke oil. A bit of smoke is normal, I wouldn't be worried. Have you changed the fuel since the last debacle? I would be tempted to ditch the fuel and start again on 50:1.

luke1979 · 09 June 2013, 20:22

It is on 50-1

Don't fiddle with it as you clearly have limited knowledge of outboard engines.

Take it back to the shop.

I think the engine is over heatin y would this b I was on out for 2 mins

TRevor Lawson · 10 June 2013, 22:15

sorry,but either take it back to marine engineer who worked on it ,may be unrelated to last work carried out give them the full story and get then to investigate and at least tank test or time to buy new engine and enjoy some time on boat

luke1979 · 11 June 2013, 08:08

The engine is only 2005 model I've only had it for 5months

There is obviously a problem with the engine so you need to get your outboard mechanic to diagnose and then fix it.

Boats&Outboards · 11 June 2013, 09:25

Luke are you aware these motors don't pump constant ? Is that what makes you think its overheating ? Did you sort the pull cord out ?

I agree, take it to somebody who can adequately look at it.

TRevor Lawson · 11 June 2013, 21:02

could be a number of reasons, like incorrect part, incorrectly installed, or poor quality part.

luke1979 · 11 June 2013, 21:14

It was a quicksilver impeller for mercury,

Or run out of water etc etc. Worth having a chat with whoever put the impeller in.......
