6hp Mercury - Model #?

[JohnnyGuy]

Hey all, I've got a 6hp Mercury ~Early-Mid 90's.
Where does mercury put their model #'s? There is NOTHING on the transom bracket anywhere? Should there be? Is there somewhere else on them that may indicate model number, or serial number even?

I usually deal with older Johnnyrudes but am taking a look at this one for a friend, first time working on a Merc any info is appreciated.

Cheers.

Any pics. Think it should be on the bracket usually. I’d be able to tell you the age within a year or two from a picture I’d think.

Will get some under the cowl shots this weekend if that'll help.

Those decals were used in the 92 to 95 model years I think.

My 1994 20 hp looks like that and my nephews 1993 15hp also looks like that.

‘93-95ish I’d suspect.

Was able to get this on the stand this weekend and get the serial number off the power head.
From this and a search on the google machine, I was able to determine that it is a ‘94 model 1006201PD.

Symptoms are rough idle, trouble starting and would often quit at low idle.
I’m suspecting the carb needs a good cleaning, so I’ll start with that. Any other recommendations, I am all ears.

There’s no “air box” or “air silencer” over the carb intake, looks like there should be one based on the parts list I’ve come across online.

Cheers,
