    test compression MANDATORY before buying …

    check for any mechanical flaws ( gears shifting ok ?)

    check all wiring for crumbling wires…. apparently a frequent event on older Mercs

    check gearcase oil for water contamination….but clean oil may also mean a recent refill

    hopefully fire it it up

    does it look loved and cared for or abused …..
