I have this Merc 45 4.5hp two stroke that I aquired through the purchase of this boat. I have taken the cover off and found that the piston moves free "I did shoot some lube down the cyllinder as directed on here earlier".
I stuck my finger over the plug hole and it does get good compression however that is as far as I got with it so far.
While examining this fine little treasure though, I found that it had no recoil spring for the pull start, My question is, I am not sure what year, it is, and there is very little I have found on the web for this engine, I am wondering how hard it is to find parts for older Merc engines?
