Default Cleaning old Mercury motor?

There must be a serial number stamped on it somewhere.
I have a 60 year old British Seagull that ran just fine last time I tried. Trouble is, it took 10:1 gas oil ratio which meant a blue cloud overhead when motoring and being chocked by your own fumes when the wind was from behind. If I needed a small motor I'd buy a nice new clean quiet one.
