Mercury 4hp outboard 1986

Description

1986 Mercury 4hp outboard. Two stroke short (15") shaft. It appears this motor has hardly been used. The owner brought it to me after an exhaustive effort to have it repaired by various other outboard shops. I knew what was wrong within a few minutes of troubleshooting. He had moved onto something else by that point. The bottom crankshaft seal had failed. Not around the crankshaft but the sealing material itself had lost it's adhesion to the metal. I put fogging oil in the carb and it leaked out within a minutes down the exhaust. We removed the powerhead and installed a new seal. The carb had been rebuilt. We installed a new water pump impeller. Motor runs excellent. These were well built motors that came out in 1964 and continued to be produced through the mid to late 80's. They were single cylinder and simple. While this is not the smoothest motor to troll with they have acceptable performance with full gear shift and features that larger motors had. Great for a tender or square stern canoe. Will require a fuel tank not included. Motor will be shipped by freight that buyer will arrange. We have a forklift and pallets for shipping. Cost of packing is for moving blanket and ratchet straps. Not interested in trades. For Sale locally as well. No warranty, no returns and sold as is. We will have videos of motor running on the boat before shipping.
