Hello folk I'm new to this form and new to boat ownership I have in my possession a 1964 Mercury 85hp 850 inline 6 as far as I could figure out from the serial # 1662924 and an MFG boat, not to sure of the model or year previous owner said 72' can't find out anything about it I'll post a pic when I have 1!!
What I want help with is the fuel/oil mix ratio?
How to change the gear oil/grease?
What spark plug should I use?
Carb/fuel/water pump rebuild kit part #'s ?
How to properly start it up as I'm up here in the great white north any help would be greatly absorbed like a sponge
1 last question for now till I think of any more is what would happen if oil was not mixed with the fuel would it make it hard to start cause any engine damage ??? My dumb a** did just that and can't get it started now as easy as the first time I started it when I got the boat with the previous owner fuel in there before I found out I had to mix oil/fuel for it
Many Thanks on your knowledge
Dave
