Hello!
I found a Mercury Force 120 1999 outboard, and it has a burned starter. (That was what the owner said). The owner also said that the engine has only 90 hours of use and has never been used in saltwater. If the starter is the only problem the engine has, it will be a good deal for me. I am ignorant in how to test the general state of the engine. Ofcourse a visual inspection will give me a lot of information. I dont want to buy the motor, replace the starter, and then, find that something else is wrong.
Could anyone here tell me how to check if the engine is OK without buying a new starter just to check it?
Thanks!!!
