Re: Merc 650

Hi John,<br /><br />That is indeed a 1966 Model. Good old motor, as I had a 67' 650 that served me well. Spark plug is gonna be a Champion J4C or an NGK B7S Gapped at .030. Points should be gapped at .020... Good luck with that good old Merc...<br /><br /><br />Parts and info below:<br /><br /><br /> oldmercs.com <br /><br /><br /> Basics

Points set at .008"-.010" oughta Git 'er Dun in the absence of adjusting by dwell, however adjusting by dwell is more accurate.<br /><br />Cheers........ed
