    1960 Mercury 400E Restoration

    1960 Mercury 400E Restoration

    With the mag off you should be able to spin it by hand & it should spark. Yes I would check for cracked wiring & change condenser.

    Look up the mid section to the splines in the motor to make sure nothing is in there.Make sure your drive shaft is where it belongs after installing the water pump..Did you slowly turn the motor over to line up the splines when installing the lower unit?

    If he pumps the primer bulb & it runs ok odds are fuel pump needs to be rebuilt. When was the last time the impeller was changed?
