Re: help - Merc 400 E
Sounds like a good start. I'm not sure of age, but it sounds pre-70s (by the # you give).<br />You might be able to tell from a review of the following link. You'll need the "acrobat reader", but it should automaticly load-up the page.<br />On the Mercs, Johnsons, and Evins, you can get the proper book by comparing the case styles, as they cover 15 years in some cases.<br />But an outboard has two determiners as to wheather it's worth rebuilding or not. One is the powerhead, (compression, ignition,fuel <br />delivery). The other is the lower unit,<br />(Geartrain,seals,prop,impellor).<br />If both are in salvageable condition, go for it,no matter make model or year (unless it's an old Elgin). And even some those,are still<br />in service and going strong. Ohwell,got long-winded, here is that link;<br />
