Mercury classic 50 hp

[mgsolakis]

I was testing compression on a Mercury Classic 50 hp 4 cyl but I struggled to get the tester down to the bottom cyl. Any tips?

use the short one from mercury made for it.

Agreed.

Where does one get one genuine Mercury tester? I normally work on OMC’S but I recently picked up a couple of Mercury 50s and I’m excited about getting to know more about them. I’ve heard you need some special tools.

merc 50 and a Classic 50 (45hp) my two biggest engines in past days. Absolutely great engines imho a bit thirsty but gas was cheap then . trolled all day no hick-ups

my 2005 ETEC 75 is now my "best engine ever" sips gas and oil…. idles all day at half liter of gas/hour smokeless odorless

Maybe if OMC had a special compression tester, too, they would have been able to build a better-looking engine than the Evinrude lark.

Long live American manufacturing!

Oh geeze….here we go again… Can’t we all just get along? OMC and Merc guys can live in harmony.

Or you could drill a hole through the cowl and not neeed a special tool. Not saying this is a good choice……
