I have 2 Mercury Outboards that I would like to rebuild. <br /><br />First is a 1965 850. <br />Second a 1998 150 Saltwater Series. <br /><br />The 850 runs but only at low idle I was told it needs a high speed coil.<br /><br />The 150 has low compression (90) on one cylinder I was told. <br /><br />Where is the best place to get parts and/or a master rebuild kit?

The only coil in the motor is there to charge the battery. I'd start by cleaning the 850 carbs.<br /><br />Iboats has advertisers that vend parts. <br /><br />-W
