It’s a 2bbl merc carb.
The air/fuel screw does change the way it acts but I feel as if I have to make a lot of turns for it to make a difference. From fully screwed in to like 4 turns out for it to make any type of noticeable difference.
I’ll look into those websites, will probably send my...
I agree. We used to have a carb rebuild shop in our town but he’s no longer around.
I am more then willing to send my original carb out to get rebuilt, I’ve found a couple places online that sell rebuilt merc carbs, but I can’t find any reviews on them and I am very mechanically inclined but...
97 Merc 4.3 no history of carb repair or replacement. Boat was always difficult to start cold-like first initial start at the ramp. No matter which different way I tried with the throttle.
So I had an Amazon gift card I’m sure you can already see where this is going, and I bought a carb off of...
Just wanted to provide an update :
Took the boat to the lake today and it would crank and not start. Getting extremely fustrated and almost giving up it finally dawned on me……….the lanyard switch was in the off position 🤦🏻♂️
After feeling incredibly stupid for not checking that first the boat...

Is the ignition module the black box next to the distributor?
Do you have a link for a replacement Delco Est incase I run into issues with that module failing?
Thanks everyone, I will keep everything intact as of right now. I will still order the 3 wire trigger, cap, rotor to keep on the boat as they are easy enough to change on the water if needed. I was hoping to go out again this weekend but the weather is not looking to great.
Installed the new coil tonight and the boat fired up instantly. Didn’t have to pump the throttle or anything. With the boat in neutral I gave it a couple revs and there was no hesitation or anything. Revved smoothly.
Now my mind is wondering do I leave well enough alone? Or do I...
Thanks that’s what I’ll do.
I did smell fuel while trying to crank it on the lake, like it was flooding out, which is a possibility due to lack of spark.
Since I’m an over thinker and really want to limit any issues on the water, besides no spark/start could this cause other symptoms such as...
I’m not sure I can hook up a scanner to this engine. It’s carbureted if that makes a difference.
I changed the fuel filter yesterday before going out.
After poking around some and having someone to help me crank it over and check for spark I rechecked the spark at the spark plug wire and I...
4.3 mercruiser, was going along just fine and all of a sudden it started spitting and sputtering brought it back to an idle and it died. Got towed back to the launch got the boat home was able to get it running again gave it a rev not being in gear and it sputtered and I shut it off. Haven’t...
After doing some more research it seems like my hub face measurement is 92 inches and center of springs would be 76in.
I can’t seem to find anything in this size readily available online. I can find 93in hub face but spring perches would have to be welded not a big deal.
Any suggestions?
