Been meaning to share this for a while now.
This past Thanksgiving my dad and I started his restored 1951 Mercury KG-4H for the first time since he bought it, about 3 years ago.
Up until then we knew it looked pretty but had no idea whether it actually ran properly or not. With some fresh gas a a few good pulls it started rather easily... once he put the plug wires on the right plugs. :D
Sounds great in the video but it was so much better in person. See video and pics below(pardon the cell phone vid quality):
Enjoy! :)

Nope, PA, US, a few years ago. Retired helicopter mechanic, military then commercial, meticulous attention to detail.
It'll take a light A Hydro 55mph, go cart on water, great power to weight fun.
