    1976 115hp merc. outboard shuts off.

    Hi. I'm thinking about buying a 1976 115hp merc engine that shuts off hot, cold, idle, full throttle dosen't matter. Doesn't run rough before it just shuts off. I was looking at ignition parts and it says the distributor cap is no longer available. Anyone with an idea? Thanks

    85 hp merc. carb.

    Hi. On my 1976 merc. 85hp there's a knob on the front but it's not hooked up to anything. I took the front plate off and there's nothing there. Does it have a different carb?
