    One gear ratio is for a short shaft One gear ratio is for the long shaft. The long shaft is MUCH more common. All the long shafts use the same ratio regardless of horsepower. The short shaft uses a completely different lower unit, with a different gear ratio. Good luck with your motor

    1986 20HP Mercury outboard

    Check the plug wires. Is the base gasket of the carb on right? Did you check to make sure the primer is squirting? As that motor does not have a choke.
