mercury autoblend WANTED dead or alive

[smokeonthewater]

Soooo I'm looking for a used autoblend unit or two.... I know that some folks avoid em like the plague but I have a spare powerhead which pretty much guarantees that I'll never need it (Murphy's law) and I'm not incredibly excited at the idea of having to premix gas for an 80 (maybe 60) gallon tank.

Anyhow if anyone has one laying around collecting dust let me know.

mercury had a recall on those things years ago, had all engines under warranty to have them removed and disposed of. I've thrown several in the trash myself. I don't think I'd waste my time and risk the motor, just stick to premix. Its a shame some one hasn't made an aftermarket bronze crank gear for mecury V6's, it would fix 99 percent of their oil injection issues

To be clear, I'm talking about the external unit.

yes, they fit nicely in the trash can

I hear ya buddy and I DO appreciate your viewpoint.... honestly I'd give the same advice to someone else but I have a spare powerhead and I just don't wanna pre mix....:sad:

It's possible that if I actually get my hands on one and tear it apart I might change my mind but I at least want to look into it.

good luck, personally I don't mind premixing, those auto blends don't vary the oil like a true oil injection, being able to vary the ratio is the only advantage to me in having oil injection. Saves a bunch of oil, nice if you are running the good stuff$$$, other wise the $10 mix jugs are as dependable as the operator

Spare:
I see you feel the same way about those that Skools does about the VRO pumps. That was the first thing that went when I took my V to him.

I saw one on Craigslist recently. I don't specifically remember which state/city, but I'm pretty sure it was Delaware, Eastern Shore MD, or somewhere in Jersey.

I do know there was an Autoblend and an Autoblend II. They were for different size motors if I'm not mistaken, so make sure you are getting the correct one for your HP.

how bout you pm me a number and or post up what you want for it.... I've seen (and missed) em as cheap as $5 or free and as high as a few hundred..... I'm looking for one MUCH closer to the former than the latter.
