Got your e-mail about clutch,did you try and squirt a little grease into the fitting and then manually work it.

Welcome snotwister ! a "w" in there might give a few less chuckles !!
Sounds like youve got a healthy background in these mercs. We'll sure put any help you might have to good use . Im a new member myself and am tearing down a 69' 250e.

Dave, give it hell. 100.00 is cheap in my estimation for any complete sled. Buy it , run it , enjoy it , maybe youll become a merc head.I own several brands and have a ball with them all. good luck!

Just got my first merc, and this guy keikhaufer, what a whiz he was. This machine was truly revolutionary! I'm in the process of teardown and discovery. First noticed most wire insulation is crumbling bad, am in process of drawing up a diagram but theres one mystery ground with the headlight switch ...
