Engine won’t start, was told I needed a CDI

[Fuzzycrocs]

Hi there!

I have a 2 stroke 40hp ELO. Serial # 6E9-L-453787.

I am having trouble finding the CDI for it. (The magneto assy).
Mercury told me over the phone the part is no longer manufactured. They did however give me a part number. 7985M.

Can anybody give me guidance on where I can find this part? I don’t want to have to buy a new engine if I don’t have too..

Thanks!
Andrew
