Re: Year of Mercury super " 5 "

Thanks all. I ran the Merc engine today. Had the test barrel setup for three other Johnson motors and thought I would give it a shot. It runs very well on gas oil mix shot into carburetor but will not run on it’s own I am sure the carb needs a thorough cleaning and going over. The lower unit housing has some of the fin broke off also the next part up ( the leg )? Would any of these parts be replaced with the impeller housing upgrade? Anybody have some of these parts? Also I ran it on 16 to 1 mix.Is this what it normally takes? Bill,
