    I can’t find any info online to verify this, but I could have sworn we used to use Champion L86C. Marine Engine lists L77JC4 as an alternate for 1978 and up. I have no idea where that came from, the 1978 cut-off. I would think either of those two would be fine.

    Bill, does this Merc have a conventional reed plate like on OMCs? Or, does it have the crank mounted reed set up found on most mercs of that vintage?
