KD4 dates to 1946.,,,3/4s of a century ago. Repair manual is not essential and not all that common.
What is condition and what are the problem(s)? Several members have
been there and done that with the Little Mercs. Illustrated parts posters
are on this site with prior threads.

Love the Little Mercs

edit, Your KD4 is very similar to this KE4 powerhead I am working on.

Thank-you for your response. I just signed onto this Club and want to find out how to put together the merc KD4 I was given to me after the original passed away. He had taken it apart, bought parts and now I am wanting to complete the rebuild he started. In particular I am needing help with how to reassemble the carburetor, propeller shaft and the magneto on the top of the motor.

I also do not know how to search for the information available you mentioned above. I tried searching Mercury KD4 outboard and it said nothing found. I sure appreciate your help…Thank-you very much

Some Mercury manuals at the site below, but not well indexed – when it comes up, click around on the list at the left and see if you find what you need.
