Hello everyone. I would appreciate some help or advise. I am starting a mod project on a 14ft MirroCraft. The boat came with no motor and a broken down trailer. I have been on the hunt for an outboard motor for it. I could not spend the big money on something new or newer and today I think I scored this 1968 or 69 Mercury 9.8hp 110 from Craigslist. The guy told me his dad had it since new and maintained it very well. I guess he garaged it four years ago and it has not been started since. Well, when I got home, I noticed that the end of the gas line from the tank has the part that should be on the motor broken inside of it. It is hard to explain, but if you look at my photo's, it is the photo on the bottom left. What should be my next step to test this out. I have never owned a gas outboard, only electric trolling motors. Any help/ guidance would be appreciated. I am pretty handy, but not a mechanic. Oh yeah, I paid $160 for it.
