    Year of 50 hp Mercury outboard

    I was told late 80s. The guy he got it from that redone a lot of stuff on the motor told him it was an 89 but I kinda knew right off. It wasn’t an 89.

    1980’s Mercury 110 9.8hp

    1980’s Mercury 110 9.8hp

    I have a question. I have a mercury 110 9.8hp 1980’s and it was running great and all of a sudden it bogged and went to a real small idle and died. Sold start after, broke rope, replaced. Now won’t start. When I squeeze the bulb gas runs out of the carb. I was thinking that the fuel line...
