Can someone answer these questions please.?
:facepalm:The engine in question is a 1973 Mercury Model 75/7.5HP Ser# 3732431.
1) Does this engine have a Thermostat in it, if so where.?
2) Does this engine have a fuel pump and if so where is it located.
3) Where can I find some new Top Cover decals at an affordable price...some of these sites are outrages on prices for a set, the decals cost more than the engine for God sakes.
Maybe I should have someone hand paint it on, it might be cheaper.?
4) I have a small rubber hose that comes out of the top of the engine and exits thru a hole on the side of the Lower Cowl...is this where the water exits after it has been pump thru the engine. I have not ran this motor yet, Im still in the process of trying to give it new life. The previous owner trully abused this engine.
5) How do you Decarb this engine, I see and hear people discuss this topic but I cant find the procedure to do.?
so far I have rebuilt the Carb. and fixed a few broken plastic parts on the engine, need a new shift lever, and shift linkage bushing, also need to drop the lower unit and replace the impeller, I here sometimes that can be real fun trying to get the old one off etc.
Oh well thats enough questions for this episode, Im sure I will be back with more later so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance for anything you can tell me.
