1980 Mercury MERC 18 Model Number 1018200 Rope Start, Tiller Motor, Short Shaft (15") Outboard motor Just bought a jon boat and this was on it when I purchased it. Does not stay running and hasn't for at least a year (according to the seller). Was told it needs a carb rebuilt but I don't know anything about it or what is wrong. I can get it to start but not stay idling. So it probably is a fuel or carburetor issue. Compression was checked @ 130 top cylinder and 150 bottom cylinder. Here you can see to it "running" on YouTube: youtu(dot)be(slash)0KapqtcnS4c Selling as I don't have any need for it and will be putting a transom mount trolling motor on the boat once this is gone. Maybe will make a good winter time project for someone knowledgeable. All fair offers considered. Since I don't know history or what needs to be done with it, I'm selling as parts motor. $200 firm
