what model of mercury motor do i own ?

[Tyler_Babcock]

i have a mercury 65hp 650 the serial number stamped on the cylinder head is 7003604 but that does not match any serial number range listed on parts websites

I am guessing as usual.-----A Canadian assembled 1972 model 3 cylinder 65 HO.

7013633 THRU 7073472 CAN - 650 (3 CYL.)-7073473 THRU 7087822 CAN - 650 (3 CYL.) these are the two serial number ranges when searching for parts which one should i use?

 

[racerone]

I would say your serial # falls in the first group.-----Clearly not in the group with 7073473 as the first serial #.-----Your location ??----What parts do you need ?

I'm in Canada I just bought the boat it need the carbs re-built and maybe more I'm not sure yet I just want to have all the information before I start tearing it down

Everybody picks on the carburetors for some reason.-----Compression test is first thing to do.

I had It running but now 2 months later I can't get it to run when I did have It running it took almost 20 key turns to start and the gas lines were rotten off of it prior to getting it
