first post, found a jewel 1967 9.8. merc 110 kiekhaefer(traded for a mini buggy gokart)
had wrong spark plugs in it when taken apart , cleaned the carb , replaced all hoses, new water pump, gear oil, new kill switch , cleaned points,reoiled the pull start . Started up and reved like a beast . Prop hub was worn so i didnt go anywhere, by miracle found a new 6 spline prop on craigslist .
like a dumbass knocked the motor over broke the shift handle, looks like its one piece, lever and shaft.
got the vicegrips on now, hehe
im wondering if its a separate piece ,and can just change the handle without dissasembling the shifter assembly.
Any one know about these relics? serial 187***
also looks like shifting is backwards, lever forward is reverse and lever back is forward.
im having a blast tinkering with this thing and know once its running im gonna fly across the lake on a 12ft jonboat or at least plane with 2 people and gear, heheh.
