My dad got a '63 Mercury 9.9 last year for his duck boat and we got it running but we are having some problems with fuel delivery. We pretty much narrowed it down to the fuel line plug that hooks up to the engine. The engine really runs good and gets the boat moving really good but after it is up on plane for a while it cuts out and dies. We figured out that if you mess with the plug connecting to the engine and squeeze the primer bulb it catches it's self and stays running. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get stuff (the fuel line and plug) for a motor this old. He really likes the motor (it is really cool looking) and would like to beable to use it for fishing/hunting. Any help would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks!!! ><>deadeye
