I have a 1953 Mercury KG7, with a Q lower. I believe it is an original factory swapped tower and lower, but not a silk-screened Q. Matching serial number and tank rim.
I’m looking to have a couple impellers on hand for that lower unit. I’m not sure that it takes the same size as the standard fishing lower units, but if anyone knows where I can find them, please let me know.
I am also baffled by the Bendix ignition. I redid my KF3, and 7, that both have the Scintilla, so I am aware of the quirks. I have great spark, but it will NOT fire. I’m not quite sure about the best place for points setting, as the cam lobe is rather large. It seems to be moving the points right after TDC, but I haven’t been able to figure out the multimeter trick to find true TDC, and when the points should open.
Thank you
