I have a 1969 Merc 650 thunderbolt 4 cyl serial# 2606990 ...so i know its a 1969 ..and when i do the research it says :
1969 Merc 650's were only produced as Merc 650E (Electric Starting, Short Shaft, with Alternator) and Merc 650EL (Electric Starting, Long Shaft, with Alternator).
How do i know whether it a long or short shaft ....i cant see a part number that says 650 E or 650 EL....and also would a 1971 mercontrol box work ?
thanx in advance
