I acquired a 2004 Mercury 9.9 HP. Not sure if it starts and I don't have a gas tank for it.
It has sat out of the water for 4+ years and was sitting on a boat in the water for about 12 years with little use, as can be seen for the condition of the lower unit that it was left in the water.
I cleaned the engine and remover the spark plugs. As you can see from the pictures may not be worth perusing.
The oil looks brand new, I haven’t checker the lower units oil until I make a stand for the engine. The gas lines and filter are dry.
The spark plug that is badly corroded with oil is from the lower cylinder. I am hoping that there was maybe to much oil in the engine.
Came from a club with a bunch of rich boys that just spend money. The marine mechanic said it would be better to buy a new one instead of paying him $95/hour to rebuild it. I retire in a year so it will become one of my projects.
I live inside the Perimeter near Spaghetti Junction.
Thank you,
Jeffrey
