Does anyone have a PDF copy of a Service Manual or Owners Manual they'd be willing to email me for a 1999 Mercury Sea Pro. My SN starts with 0G80. I just picked it up on a whim and didn't know if it ran when I bought it. Just took the guys word for it. It looked ok, but you never know.
I have no idea what size the prop is either cause it's corroded. All I can read is the 13P and it's a 3 blade. What is normal for this engine?
I cleaned the extremely dirty carb using the old gaskets and diaphragms because the new ones I ordered have not yet arrived. I changed the lower unit oil and then took it to the river to test it out. It fired right up, but died quickly there after. The outside temps were in the low 50's so that may have had something to do with it. It doesn't like to stay idling, but will run just fine once I bump it in gear. I may mess with the screws on the carb to see if I can make it idle better. Any tips?
Here's a pic from a plate posted inside the cowl:
Here are some images of the inside of the Merc 25 Sea Pro (1st) then side shots of a 25 or 30 Tohatsu I use to have. The 25 Sea Pro resembles all other small Mercury motors I've had over the years that ranged in the 1990's. The Tohatsu looks a lot different. I've read comments on a few sites where people say they are the same motor and if I need parts for them to shop Tohatsu parts, but after looking at the motors side by side I don't think they're the same. Maybe they are referring to later models?
Here are the images:

Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
