Thanks! I see in the comments section of that video they say to lower the drive.

I'm about to change the gear oil in my Mercruiser 120hp sterndrive. I've drained all the gear oil off with the drive in full tilt (so the drain plug is the lowest part of the sterndrive). Is it best to refill (into the drain / fill plug aperture with the vent screw removed) with the drive in full ti...

Here's the fuel tank - nearly 50 years old and leaks like a sieve. Once replaced, It'll be nice not having the sniff of 4 star mixing with the natural air of Loch Lomond.

I decided to go for the 240 - 30 ohm sender as the fuel gauge is an original 1960s one. Looks like I guessed right as the video above shows. Usually, if I have a choice of two items; one right and one wrong, I always choose the wrong one. The picture below shoes the old sender and the replacement one.

Got my new fuel sender; seems to work well!

I measured the resistance. However - the meter read circa 90 ohms when it was attached to two posts on the fuel gauge. But my choice for fuel sender is a 230 - 30 ohm sender or a 0 - 190 ohm sender. Can anyone advise what a resistance of circa 90 ohms across the fuel gauge would indicate which sende...

Hello all, I am replacing my 49 year old internal fibreglass fuel tank in my Broom Pisces - mainly because it leaks like a sieve! A local precision engineering company will be making me a new tank from stainless steel, using the current tank as a template. I am going to order a new fuel sender for t...

All sorted! I got a carb "repair kit" from the USA which included all gaskets, new float, springs, choke device etc. I srtripped the carb and re-built it; all working great now. It was a float problem - I don't know whether or not it had a hole in it (none visible), but the fuel cuts off fine now an...

Hello! I have been having trouble with my Mercruiser 120hp. It starts great from cold, then won't start from warm / hot. I took the flame arrestor off and turned the engine over. To my surprise (and horror!), after about two turns of the engine, petrol poured out of the pipe circled in the image bel...

Hello! I'm asking for some pointers here... I have a 1968 Mercruiser 120hp engine. A few days ago it wouldn't start as well as it normally does. It will fire up no problem, but when you take the ignition key off the "start" position, the engine dies. This will happen 6 - 10 times until it will stay ...
