Dear Forum, I just bought a used Mercury 3.5hp 2 cycle outboard, I believe it is a 1984 or there abouts. There is a shifter on the side of the engine with forward and neutral positions. There is also a position to move the shifter backwards, but it does not lock in place and springs back to the forward position. I do not have a manual with this motor. Can someone explain what that position of the shift lever is in the rearward momentary position? Also, if somebody knows where I can get a manual for this motor I would be grateful! Thank you. Also, what is the fuel mixture on this motor as I am not sure, I cannot find much information on the motor anywhere on line? I also need help locating the serial number of the motor as I cannot find it anywhere I am looking.
