A friend dropped off this Mercury to see if I could fix it.
He said it started flooding out and wouldn’t restart.
I told him I’d look at the fuel system, but if it’s an ignition
problem, he’s on his own!
I’m guessing it’s from the 1980’s, but how do I narrow it down
so I can look up a carb parts diagram, etc?
I’m not seeing a data tag. Thanks.
Cover graphics should put it at around 1980 to 1981, I am pretty sure. If the ID tag is gone, there is a welch plug with the serial number on the engine block, I think the stbd side.
Long live American manufacturing!

I looked on ME and typed the serial number in the “82 and up” box,
and it showed parts diagrams on the carb, showing either a
Walbro or Tillotson carb.
