This motor is SUZUKI built !!----And not all of their 4 strokes were rebranded.----The early 9.9 / 15 HP 4 strokes were their own with same lower units as their wonderful 2 strokes.
They will idle all day long and the next day !!-----This concept of plugs fouling is not well understood in my opinion.-----I trolled with a 235 HP V-6 crossflow for hrs at a time.
Remove both upper plugs.----Fill with oil from the bottom.----When oil reaches middle plug , intall it.----Then continue to fill until oil comes out the top , if indeed it does.----Perhap a plug for flushing ?
Yes----There are brackets to mount the motor.----From the mid 1960's to 1972 will fit.-----Your location ?-----Brackets have multiple holes to adjust height.----Install a new impeller before launching the boat.
