I have just purchased a mercury 65hp outboard off the ebay, it is a three cylinder two stroke and i am guessing mid 60s to mid 70s age.
Living in Northumberland in the uk although there are dealers around none seem helpful when i discus this motor with them, so i was hoping some one on here could help me with it.
The outboard was purchased as seen a non runner had been stored in a brick garage wrapped in a diesel soaked sack and then fertiliser sacks roped around it, for wait for it 27 years
All i can tell you is it turns over but has no spark, but was assured it did have when stored, now i am no mechanic but can manage most jobs with a little thought and good advice. Are any on this board willing to try and help me get this old motor up and running.
Where do i start looking there is wiring there and i have connected all the wires up as best i can tell but some wiring as been replaced and i am not sure what does what. HELP!
Yours in trouble Ricky!
