Re: Mercury Mark 58

Thanks for the help, I have 2 sets of rebuilt carbs, and have tried both sets, and rebuilt one of them again, using the new carb kits that do not have the rubber gromet seat. I tried 2 different re-built mags, I think a KD-1 and a KD-2, I have rebuilt about 20 mags, and know what I am doing with them, I also pulled both mags off and spun them with a drill and they spark great. Also used a sparker unit, on one plug shows good spark. The motor ran a few days ago for only about 10 seconds, so I know it should run. But it will not! I timed them very carefully, Will check to be sure Flywheel is on the key, I just reinstalled it today, as I had it off to replace the charging unit coils. The key does not stick out very far, so just maybe you are on the right track. A friend of mind Tim Digennaro, suggested the reed valves, but I have no idea how to unstuck them, Thanks again, I will take a look to be sure the flywheel is on correctly, and rekey it. Since it does not hit a lick, maybe thats it. or the reeds?
