Hate to say it but I think you're diving into the carbs on this one.

Little Mercury’s like that (or even the big ones of that vintage) don’t have fuel shut offs built in. They often have a fuel filter under the cowl and screens on the carburetors (one carburetor on this one) so check those. Also, all the ones I had have a diaphragm type fuel pump that uses crankcase pulsation to move the fuel. As mentioned above, the diaphragms take a set with age and rip sometimes. Easy rebuild with the right parts. If you’ve got spark and compression the third piece is fuel. You’re close!
