Re: What do I have?

Ill throw in my two cents worth. I am by no means an expert on these motors but have a number of good runners that I have brought back from the dead.

First off it is definitely a two stroke so the gas will need to be mixed although i’m not quite positive on the correct mixture for that motor but my instinct says 50:1 but don’t trust me on that. I would recommend running some seafoam through it when you do get it running though to help clean out any gunk that may be in there. The glass bulb you are looking at is the housing for the fuel filter. I’m not sure where the electric starter would mount but it shouldn’t be hard to find by looking at it. There should be a couple of screws located on the side lower unit one to drain the lube, one to fill, and there may be a weep hole as well that will indicate when the proper amount of lube has been added. I would at minimum change the lube in the lower unit and check the impeller before I started it (which would require removing the lower unit to get at the impeller housing). If the motor has ever been started while not in water there is a good chance that there isn’t much left of the impeller.

Hope this helps and gets you started! That little merc will be a good little runner.
