Default Cleaning old Mercury motor?

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.

"Chocked", Don? Really? Will you let the typos go now?
