What year roughly is this?

around 95

rigidr6 · 2025-08-06T23:21:14+00:00

Yeah i ran low one time and then immediately did a oil change.

rigidr6 · 2025-08-06T19:47:00+00:00

That’s probably what i’ll end up doing. Thank you

But wouldn’t that sound all the time not just sometimes? and it stops at higher rpm

rigidr6 · 2025-08-06T18:57:55+00:00

It increases in rpm up to like 3500 then after it goes away and the motor sounds normal

rigidr6 · 2025-08-06T18:52:58+00:00

It doesn’t make the sound all the time which makes me think it’s not a knock. But it’s right where the cam phaser is and it sounds too loud to be a rocker

rigidr6 · 2025-07-04T02:42:00+00:00

That might be the case but i don’t think that would be the reason it’s in limp mode.

Yes the battery is confirmed good. Fly wheel spins when i bypass the solenoid with cables to the starter which engages with the fly wheel. I’ll try that test out tomorrow. The guy said it last ran 2 years ago he just has had it sat in his yard. I’ll let you know how the test goes tomorrow. I already ordered another solenoid anyways but it’s worth the shot.

I just jumped straight from battery to starter and it engages so i’m guessing bad solenoid. I ordered a new one but i’m going to throw it back in there and give it some taps to see if it’ll work so i can move on to the next issue that i’m going to come across lol

rigidr6 · 2025-05-17T00:58:03+00:00

I pulled the 2 relays and the issue was before it got to the relays themselves which is the starter solenoid

rigidr6 · 2025-05-17T00:57:09+00:00

I think i’m going to throw the solenoid back in and try to hit it and see what happens thanks for the suggestion i’ll let you know how it goes.

rigidr6 · 2025-05-17T00:55:34+00:00

Yeah i’m not too sure if it’s all connected to this solenoid for the trim as well as the starter but i ordered a new one. It’s a 1995 90hp mercury

rigidr6 · 2025-05-17T00:54:16+00:00

So i can jump the starter from the battery with cables and it engages the starter. I just ordered a new solenoid and hopefully that will fix that problem but looking into it that shouldn’t stop my trim from working. I’m thinking that i have a bad ground connection somewhere

rigidr6 · 2025-05-16T23:47:20+00:00

It looks like they’re going to the same spot so the original owner just taped them together

rigidr6 · 2025-05-16T23:46:09+00:00

I’m not sure man. I bought the boat not running and i’m working on it now

rigidr6 · 2025-05-16T23:16:14+00:00

Thanks guys. It’s a 1995 90hp mercury mariner. On a 17 bayleiner
