Mercruiser Start Up/Marvel's Oil

I purchased the one smokeonthewater said to http://m.summitracing.com/parts/pro-66901?seid=srese1&gclid=CILTxbTH88QCFQwvaQodUj0AeQ

I put trust into you guys, so I just ordered it in the effort to move forward... cylinders should be nice and lubed by the time summit ships it out...I have to get a puller to take off the Balancer too.... thinkin about the cheapo puller kit at harbor freight? ... will it work?

IMG_0791.jpgGot out there and the freed up nicely.. was able to pull all the plugs one at a time and load them up with tranny fluid.. here is a laugh..
I used a ball primer to get the oil into the cylinders, the second one I did was #3.. I pumped and pumped and it didn't take much.. I pulled the hose away and tranny fluid shot out like a musket gun and got me right in the eye!! LOL... effin rookie!!! I did notice that # 3 #4 ? the two middle ones ... the pugs were real funky.. some sort of green mold growin on them.. any thoughts?? I plan on letting this sit until Saturday before trying to budge it.. that will give it 4 days.. for the most part..engine looks pretty new/clean
 
We have no way to know.... First step is free it up... THEN we find out if there are other issues.

HOPEFULLY just a little condensation.... And HOPEFULLY it breaks free surprisingly easily with minimal rust.
 
,,great news.. it freed up!!! took all advice and it worked!!!! .... bum news ... starter bad! better replace starter over engine!!! ....... I emptied 35 gallons of old gas today.. still 5-10 left.. ard to get rest out... tinkin of leaving and adding new gas.. octane boost.. tougts? I will order starter today and continue next week end
 
NO WAY NO HOW NO....

200 gallons of good gas plus 10 gallons of bad gas equals 210 gallons of bad gas...

get rid of ALL of it.


That said awesome that she's free now.... hopefully your good luck continues
 
I'm just reading all your replays I will tell you ,,,,,,, you guys are frigging amazing,,, I wish I lived closed to any of you guys Friggin amazing
 
210 gallons bad gas... ill will rid rest, not sure ow? need a siphon of sort? I used garden ose...went trew sending unit.. use a wet dry vac for suction.. extinguisher close by :-). wat do u use to empty tank?.. can u tell tere is one key on board not working?
 
need to order starter, and some sort of oil pressure/sending tingy? it is to te rit of engine looks like fuel filter...
 
I use a cheapo electric fuel pump and enough fuel hose to reach the can outside the boat... jack up one side of trailer or pull onto a block or ramp and then raise or lower tongue to make gas run to a corner.

then pump or siphon from there... NO shop vac.... can you say BOOM.


use 3/8 fuel hose n either pump or siphon... hint: you can run it through the bilge drain in the transom if it's long enough
