I got a 1985 Mariner 50 hp just like the mercury only difference is color. They can flood really fast if you get in a hurry starting them up. I run 50:1 gas mix
I have a 1985 2 stroke 60 horse in very good shape with strong compression that has been taken very good care of what do you think it's worth is this a good motor
Submerged water pump will have exhaust back pressure. No back pressure with "muffs" and carbon build up in exhaust ports can cause engine to "Diesel" and run away.Shutting off ignition will not stop engine ,and it can over rev and blow up! only way to stop is to stuff a rag or rags in carb venturis as this motor has two carbs.
i recently bought an 85 lund 18' boat here in North Dakota. it has the exact same engine. i have not been able to get it out on the water yet but how does yours work for you, and how quick can it be?
I'm in ND too. I have this motor on a 1967 Starcraft I restored. It's only a 13 ft aluminum so it moves really well. I think it's faster than my brother in laws ski boat with a 350 V8
Got love those two stroke outbords they take a lickin and keep on ticking great boat 👍
I thought mine idled too high but I see they all idle this high xD

YES HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR THAT 50 MERCURY
Is this still for sale
NEVER run above 1400 RPM out of the water!!!!!!!
+CraigS41 why
+jan bakker There's no load on the engine ant it could run on, and it could damage things.

Better check that lower end with that old peripheral having that damage it might have water in the housing that be bad on the bearings
