FishOn Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Can I please get someone to recommend a good place to have my Mercury 4 stroke engine diagnosed and repaired. I am in Markham and willing to travel a good distance if the shop is reasonable and does a good job. they have to be licensed Mercury technicians. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 What's wrong with the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scugpg Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 if I had to take mine in I'd go to bay city marine in Hamilton. Worth a call to verify the mercury licensed tech part. Clarence is very good to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikeslayer Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 City Marine in Mississauga. Certified Mercury technicians. They are 2 minutes from the boat launch @ Promenade Park so you can take it directly to the lake for a test drive after service. Let them know Simon referred you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishOn Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) 75 Mercury 4 stroke EFI. It starts hard and when it does start black smoke is coming out (from the exhaust mixed with fuel and oil) . its like running an engine on choke only. To me it looks like its running only on two cylinders, but I could be wrong.I did some research and it could be a fuel problem with the Module fuel supply regulator. Apparently there is a small 1/8" hose that could crack and start sending too much fuel. While running the alarm sounded and I did shut the motor down. I am hopping there will be some codes stored in the ECU. Anyways, the engine has set for over a year and it has less than 50hrs on it. I have to get it checked Edited September 2, 2013 by FishOn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishOn Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 There used to be a Mercury outboard shop around Steels and Dufferin are.Close to the 407 Head Office. I forgot the name of the shop. It was a unit in a strip mall. Extreme something??? They worked on my Mercury Optimax a while back and did a great job. I will keep an eye on the post and see who gets the best vote and give them my bussines. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishOn Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks to all. Solved my problem. it was a cracked vacume hose in the fuel regulator module. Engine is running like a champ now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodobuggins Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 which place did you end up taking it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Central Outboard Marine on Woodbine north of #7 carries Mercury. I bought mine there, and others have mentioned that they were happy with the service there. A lot closer than Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I know you've got it looked after but I should mention Xtreme Marine in Etobicoke for future consideration. Tony is excellent and extremely fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
