Hi I have a few problems with my mercury 4hp outboard, Serial No 9295382
The outboard ran but now refuses to do so.
Firstly I noticed fuel leaking out of the carburetor so I suspect this to be the culprit, I would like to buy a new set of gaskets and a float set could any one point me in the right direction please.
Secondly there is a wire loose see the attached pics, it is the black wire with spade like connector coming of the thunderbolt ignition (also a suspect) the problem is I cant find where it is supposed to go......any ideas?
Lastly I checked the plugs and the gap for the spark seems to be very wide does any one know what it should be so I can set it properly?
Many thanks

. The carb float height is what is off, I had mine off 3 times to get it set right. You won't need to buy anything to fix it, see the link below.
