I know this doesn't help after the event but in my younger days when I had a ski boat (before I realised boats were better used for fishing) I cooked a relatively new 200hp Mercury. Took it to my local mechanic and after a few investigative questions he put it down to environmental damage (ie. bag over the water intake). I had insurance (Club Marine) and they paid $3000 to repair. I was never so happy to have insurance in my life. I couldn't prove the plastic bag, but the mechanic just happened to be a Club Marine agent and he did all the paper work for me. Won't leave home without it.
I know this doesn't help this time Michael, but next time...
thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated!!!
am trying to get to my mum's house cause im keen to start surgery!!!
Ba229, that does make sence. I spoke to my marine studies teacher today about it in class, he described to us the possible reasons for this happening... mainly about the water pump. if the motor is not seized... is it likely the motor itself can be salvaged or to early to determine?
Paz, the only other problems ive ever had with motor was my little z50 motorbike!! was ridin it around when all of a sudden the motor konked out. same story as this really. when i tried to start it back up, the motor would squeek just like this. still dunno what it was awwwwww MICK
Prop Dinger, The motor is either 92 or 93!! it is a 9.9 HP Johnson... I am defineatly lookin to pullin it apart I'm like that!!! i will try these other things first tho! have you got one?
Bungie, ill try get down there this week if prop dinger hasn't got one!
mich have a cruise around this site http://www.maxrules.com/fix.html
gives you a basic idea of how the 2 stroke motor works,,might be some other good reading there for you as well..

righto, setup the motor with muffs and hose. pulled out the plugs, gave a little spray with inox.. only a little. tried to pull over.. no worries, and also plenty of compression. put plugs back in. pulled out the choke went to try and pull it over and the motor kicked over but then shut off pretty quickly... put the choke back in and tried to start it with the choke back in. no luck ay.....
bdrdrdrd! bdrdrd!! bdrdrd!!!
(by the way that's suppose to be the sound of the motor not starting )
is that a good sign that it kicked over in the first place?
Hi Mike
Things are looking good, BUT my advice would be, at this point dont try and start it, pull the head off the motor so you can check the condition of your cycinder surface (if it did sieze for a short time there may be some aliminium on the cycinder walls, if it started with that there you may do a lot more damage.) so at this point you may still need to strip the motor, maybe a new piston, I would put at least a set of rings in, maybe just a set of gaskets.
keep the question coming
cheers

In the very least you'll have to check the water pump and more than likely replace it. Also give all of the electricals and wiring a good look over. Chances are some of it may have melted and be shorting out.
i'd say it would need new rings at least,,if they had gotten red hot they would have gone soft and lost their tension..a good excuse to give the motor a freshen up and keep her goin for another 10 years...
