help me find a part...

[peterdavidwood]

The motor is a '72 Mercury 1400.<br /><br />It appears to be a mercury switch part number is 58124 (this is a guess, it's the only thing written on the part. It appeared to have been cut, and I don't know if it needs to be replaced. I haven't been able to locate a replacement part or any reference to this part.<br /><br /><br />Also I can't seem to find a replacement distributor cap for this motor. The part number is 393-4841

I better look my self befor sending you else where.<br />the numbers on the parts are the part #<br />good luck

I've found some more information on the switch. It's a mercury switch. What does it do? Why would someone have cut the wire? Is it needed?the part is 58124A4 as listed above.

Do a search for Clams Canino on ebay. He has good used parts and a huge inventory. It might be preferable to the sticker shock of buying new.

mercury switch kills the motor if you tilt it up too high airing out the water intakes. Don't really need it.
