powerheads are 2.4-200s all 1980s
Weve got lots of old motors, we build them from junk motors, so i dont see how serial numbers help. all my 2.4s & 2.5s take same gearcase, & might be made out of 10 old mercs because we have a 15 acre graveyard of merc powerheads & parts. [/QUOTE]Sorry, I was just trying to help.
With your engine serial number I'm able to look up parts for your engine using your engine year to try to help find the correct part numbers to fit your engine, and I can also have a look around at the mercury dealerships to find out if they happen to have any No longer available parts sitting around on their shelves, That is as long as they have listed them to mercury marine.
if my exhaust housing numbers will help, ive got them sitting in front of me[/QUOTE]Sorry, But that number would not help me help you.
If you don't have the serial number, Then the year and (HP) of your engine may help in some cases.
I'm not a big outboard tech, I do more sterndrive stuff, So I'm not to familiar with the ins and outs of outboard, But if I go by the book I do allright sometimes when trying to help out part wise.
