Broken 40hp Mercury
Took my 40hp Merc (2 stroke) for a last run before winterizing and noticed white smoke billowing out of the exhaust.It steadily lost power as I barely made it back to the dock before it died.It didn't run out of oil and still turns over but won't start. Nor looking for a fix by mail,just wondering if anyone had a similar problem so I'll know what to expect when I bring it in for repair. Thanks in advance.

Samiam:
That seems like a relatively new motor to have the type of problems you are describing. I'd be curious to hear what your mechanic says. |
