We purchased an old Mercury 2-stroke outboard, quite old, SN# 2689938. Info on engine says it was built by Kiekhaefer Mercury. If anyone can tell me what year/ model this engine is we can find some more information on tuning and repairing it. It is in good shape for its age (I think it dates from the mid-60's) but is hard to start.

Yes it does look like that, though I neglected to mention in my origonal post that the cover has MERC 40 inscribed on it. Single cylinder. Looking at the www.oldmercs.com site I think it may be the 1969 Merc 40? Thanks for your help!!!
