Hi All:
I have an early 1980's Merc 40 HP 2 cylinder engine. I am looking for a part but do not know what it is called. On the engine there is the top Cowl. Then there is a band around the side of the engine that does up with latches on the front. On the front of the engine there is also a faceplate. The faceplate is held on by a latch with a spring. It is located on the lower part of the top engine. you turn this latch and an insert goes up to the faceplate to hold it in or to remove. This latch is broken so the faceplate keeps falling off. What is this part called and does anyone know where I can find one? I have been looking for weeks.
