A Mercury engine with serial number 7140366 falls within a serial number range that corresponds to USA-manufactured engines. Specifically, this serial number range is 0A855097 through 0G710612. The search results suggest that this range corresponds to a 4/5 horsepower Mercury outboard engine.
To find the specific model year, you might look for a two-digit number in a box on the engine's identification tag or instruction plate. This number typically indicates the last two digits of the manufacturing year. For example, if the box has "10", the engine was manufactured in 2010.
