[QUOTE="PBRMINER, post: 252845, member: 2174"] so I got a 1973 Merc 75 which is a 7.5 Tiller. I was told it ran great when it was last ran in 2010, and had the lower unit serviced and impeller changed then too. The seller could not find the fuel hose. I went to 3 different shops and no one had the fitting for the fuel line I need all they had was for 98 and newer. does anyone know which one I need? the only Merc. dealer here is gander mountain and all they tried to do was sell me a new one. I am hoping that it will fire up when I get the fuel line without trouble but we will see...... also, the motor won't lock down the pin is there and I have tried moving it but it won't make contact any ideas there? again, I'm very new to boating so excuse my ignorance. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
