I thought a page from the OM would capture the Gestalt of Mercury better than just words, thanks.

Thank you for posting this. I'm sure a lot of old Merc 2-stroke owners are like me - 2nd or 3rd owners who don't have the manual. I had cobbled together this same starting procedure from reading different forums. The only thing I do different is I set the neutral warm-up lever to about 70% . Usually starts in 5-7 seconds as in the video below.
