Serial number again

[llorenzo]

Hi, I can't find any information for my outborder 25hp.
The serial number is 9691512. It says it is build in Belgium.
How to find a repair book for this engine?

It ran just fine untill two days ago. Now it doesn't start anymore.
I didn't see a spark on the plugs.
Also the carburetor/fule system might be clocked after the winter.

if that is the Serial # makes it an 85. What color are the stripes?

 

[llorenzo]

85 is the year? Would you know where to find a repair guide?

 

[flyingscott]

That looks newer than 1985 otherwise it would have gold stripes.. Look on the transom bracket for a tag

Ok, I'm back in the city and wont be able look for a tag for 2 weeks from now.
Here is another tag a took a photo of.

Comes up as an 85 maybe somebody put different decals on it

I don't often disagree with flyingscott, but I'm getting that number as Belgian built 1992 which the decals match.

@haventaclue how did you find that? Thanks for checking. Is there a possible repair guide for the engine?

I use the Seloc manual from this site, the factory manual is best, but as a beginner, as I was nearly twenty years ago, the Seloc did me fine. https://www.marineengine.com/manuals/seloc/mercury.html
PS, I'm still very much a beginner

Ok, marineengine is not sending the manual to Berlin, Germaniy.

Have you contacted your closest Mercury Marine dealer?

 

[haventaclue]

That has changed, I bought the manual here many moons ago, though at that time parts were unavailable for sale outside the US.

I just reread your original post. No spark. I'm assuming it's turning over.
Look at the kill switch and circuit, black/yellow stripe wire.

Also, in general you don't need the manual specific to your motor, just find one in the same ballpark. Especially with boilerplate troubleshooting scenarios, things follow set patterns until they don't and often the solution is reached prior to bifurcation. Was it overheating before it died? The thermostat could be stuck open and that may be shorting an overheat alarm that doesn't work audibly but still might prevent the load from reaching fuel dependant components (i.e. sparkplugs) for fire safety reasons. Just one of several ways to explain away catastrophic failure. Start reading the first manual you can find, even if it's for a different stroke, choose something ignition specific and troubleshoot till you can't or till you find the problem.

Put up a pic of the back of the head. A 92 would have an OC or OD in the serial #. 1985 probably won't have a thermostat.
