Retrowagon Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have a 1969 Mercury 4 cylinder 50hp Thunderbolt ignition outboard. Prop turns, pull start, needs lots sorting out What's it worth ? Is it worth trying to sort out ? Get rid of it for parts ? Let the laughter begin Being 4 cylinder does that make it four stroke too ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 4 Cylinder does not make it 4 Stroke. 1969 Mercury 4 cylinder 50hp, it'll be 2 stroke. The first Mercury 50hp 4 stroke was 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Blue band around the engine ? I had one of those. It used to start and run fine for a while then it would stop and not start again. Next day it would start and run fine again ( for a while ) My Brother had a 90 horse blue band merc. - - - - - did exactly the flipping same. If you're not some sort of expert with a garage full of bits, my view is sell it for bits. Jim Retrowagon and Steve S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
