Re: Beginner Engine to Restore

Why limit your scope to a Merc?

Try an antique. Johnson Light Twin, for instance. Still plentiful, parts not so difficult to find if you need em, the ignitions are virtually bullet-proof, and they are known to be among the best running antique motors of all time. easy-peasy to work on, even for a novice.

Just sayin’….
