I didn't read all the posts, but I bought an "aftermarket" manual at first...then later a Merc manual.....the aftermarket looks like it was almost copied word for word, and picture for picture from the merc manual.

Interested in Manual for 1980 Mercury 4HP 2 Cylinder 2 Cyle Engine
I have a new-to-me 1980 Mercury 4HP 2 cyliner 2 cyle engine, serial number 9321228, model number 1004200. Do you have a manual for that? I would love to get one. I'm particularly interested in verifying the fuel/oil mix (50:1?), learning the spark plug gap, and figuring out an issue I have with it now that it is stalling out. It ran for a while (maybe 1/2 hour with no issues) but then started stalling out so I've stopped using it till I figure out more. I used 50:1 ratio and good non-ethanol gas (high octane - 93 - since that is the only gas that is ethanol free in my area) with Mercury 2 cycle outboard oil. I used a measuring bottle that is marked for 50:1 and put right amount in with the gas in a 2 gallon container. I may not have mixed it well enough - that is one possible answer - but maybe there are other issues since the engine wasn't used much prior to my buying it. I did get a demo and it worked great, and as I say it worked for about 1/2 hour without any issues. Appreciate anything you can do for me - advice would be great, and also if you've got the manual I'd love to read it. Thanks!

Wrenchin2, I really appreciate your time providing these manuals for S&F members! If you have a manual for a 1995 mercury 260, serial number og205422, 2.5 efi ss offshore, that would help out a great deal! Thanks for your time. Bob Findley.

I've had both OEM and SELOC. I'd say the OEM was more organized and had better step by step details and illustrations, but FOR THE MONEY I don't see anything wrong with the SELOC. Depends on what kind of work a person is looking to do. For the basics I'd pocket the extra change and get a SELOC.
As for SELOC versus Clymer, I've checked a couple of Clymer's out of the local library for a couple of things and didn't think they were all that great. I have a SELOC right now for my 150 and think it's adequate.Ron V

You haven't seen the SELOC pages that were too generic and slightly wrong for a Merc?

Sorry I don't have a manual for that engine. I would suggest that you run some Berryman's B-12 chemtool in it at a 1oz per gallon ration. It can be found at your local wal-mart in the automotive section usually next to the sea foam. It may have a little varnish built up and it the B-12 will take care of it in 99% of the time. Just my experiences.

Sorry I don't. I don't work on the small HP so I don't have many of the manuals for them. I mostly have late 80's through 2004 manuals. The only manual I have going back into the 60's is a seloc manual in PDF that covers 45-220HP that I adding quick links making it "active" so if you want to go to a certain page you simply click on it.
