[QUOTE="user 6672, post: 263704, member: 6672"] I bought a 1984 merc 115 jet from Eberlin last spring, i met them in Des Moines IA, which is 8 hours from me. I never could get it to run correctly. I rebuilt the carbs and a bunch of other things and best rpm i could get was 4700, which is under the manufacturer's spec. I spoke to them a several times and they sent me 2 new cdi packs stator and trigger and carb kit. I messed with that stupid motor for 3 months and never got it rite. You could tell it wasnt running rite. I asked one of the techs out there about it and he said: "maybe it is a tired motor and it just cant get past 4700 RPM". I paid the same amount for it i would have paid for the pump, so i went and bought a 87 115 merc so the pump would fit, the 87 spins at 5200-5500 depending on weather and is strong like bull.. I still have the 84 in my garage.. parts or rebuild, i havent decided if i even want to mess with it. Not bad mouthing them just saying if i lived closer i wouldnt have messed with it at all, i would have brought it rite to them.. [/QUOTE]
