Hello again everyone,
I'm going to be getting an old Mercury, (kiekhaefer mercury). Here's the deal, it's been sitting in the bush for a while, doesn't have a cowling, but by looking at the size, must be about a 35hp....2 Cylinder, elec. start, and the serial number is: 1570511. Looking on the merc website, I could only find a 1570507. But that was a 4 cylinder engine. What i'm wondering, is this worth it as a restoration project? If anyone has any idea where to get parts for it, that would be awsome! It's not too badly rusted inside. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

E20
