Retrowagon Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Don't know if anyone can help. Is there any repair/maintenance manuals for outboard engines ? I have a mariner bigfoot 60 2stroke but would like a manual to look at for info for repairing and general maintenance. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Check out EBay, you can get CD's with the manual(s) on cheap. Got one for my Yamaha but gives loads of other models as well I think it was about £5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ah, do you have Terry's old smoker? Good thing is, you can smoke your catch before you get back to the slip!!! Good luck with it, well looked after I'm sure and low hrs. Plus they shift them motors, R Retrowagon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrowagon Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes got Terry's loverly lump ooh err missus Want the manual to get myself acquainted with the engine and to have a look at the fuel system as I have a little fuel starvation problem, not sure if it's fuel filter, fuel tank, fuel pump (don't know if it's electric or manual), lift pump, or fuel lines, just need the info to check stuff. I think it's a tank problem as the old metal tank works fine, but the new plastic one seems to not get fuel to the engine ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I should think that's the answer as you know it was running fine before. It's got a brand new filter under the bonnet but it might be worth checking it to see if any muck has come up from you tank. Are you sure the tank breather is working efficiently?

Retrowagon Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 New tank , new line, new bulb, new connectors ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'd check the fuel pickup in the new tank, I've known a new tank where the fuel pickup pipe wasn't connected properly and was drawing in air.

Retrowagon Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Well after a little exploration of my fuel tank I might have found a little problem with the pick up pipe. See if you can tell the difference ?? This is how the sender/pickup came out of the tank And this is how it's supposed to look .. I think Well something like this . Been to lots of places to get the plastic pipe but no joy so found a little secondhand chandlers in Poole which had one and all for the pricely sum of £1. Great little shop that I will return to soon. Not sure why Quicksilver use a pipe inside a fuel tank that isn't petrol proof. On the plus side I feel I have another part that needs to be put on my "to be made out of stainless steel list" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
