Hi there, welcome to iboats!:)

The model number for "your" engine model don't seem to help much when looking for parts online but never the less the model number is 7040211BW. Your engine looks to be a long shaft with Manual start. (ML) A close enough parts match to find parts available online would be model number 7040217BW. Hope this helps, good luck.:)
40 ML6E9-359706 - 6E9-3618251993

I called a mercury dealer and they told me it was built by Yamaha and it was between 1984-87

While I could be incorrect with your info, I have noticed on many boating forums that sometimes some dealers struggle with finding the correct year when looking up the Yamaha type serial numbers. Notice they only gave you a year range and not an actual year.;)

Here is where the look up chart info came from, http://www.autorepairmanuals.biz/page/608047
