Re: 1950 wizard broken ring question


You can get the rings HERE, as well as other parts too.
The cousin to the Wizard WF4 is the mercury KD4.
I would think that broken rings would score the cylinder wall.
I like to put grease or anti-seize on one side of the gaskets so that you can take it back apart in the future in case the gaskets are discontinued. Just my 2¢.

Re: 1950 wizard broken ring question

I got an Email from Joe Poole at Ferguson-Poole, Inc. reminding me that they have some hard to find parts for the WF4 also. Here is the Email. I hope Joe doesn't mind my including it here as it might help others to find parts they may need also.

Hi Bryan,

Long time since I spoke with you last. Possibly this is unneeded as you apparently prefer OldMercs, but we now have some stock of gaskets specific to the WF4 and WG4 models that I do not know of anyone else offering. These can be viewed on either our "Exhaust Systems" page: http://fergusonpoolemarine.com/exhaustsystems.html (third item down from the top of the page), or on "Outboard Motor Parts": http://fergusonpoolemarine.com/outboardmotorparts.html (about 15% down from the top of the page, and about 60% down for another). Note that as they were produced a few years later, there are also some other differences between a Mercury KD4 as well. We do have the factory parts manual for these, as we do for any other vintage Mercury or Mercury produced Wizard. Thank you for your attention.


Best Regards,

The only reason I send folks to Oldmercs is that they list parts under each model number and it is a little easier to find things. I'm sure Joe would be glad to help find parts for you if you contact him above.
