    Mercruiser 350 carb

    So I took it back off and I am going to soak it again. I do have a question, the sealing washer under the center screw of the Ventura does not seem to have made it. Does anyone know if I can get a washer like this from the auto parts store.

    Mercruiser 350 carb

    It is a 2 barrel mercarb, yes I took it fully apart except for the choke housing. I could not get the housing screws out so I left that alone. I took the choke spring off and let the rest.

    Without getting to far in the weeds my carb was dumping fuel and very poorly running. I rebuilt the carb and when I was reinstalling it had my hand on the dizzy. when I went to get up the dizzy rotated some. I moved back approximately how much it turned but not exact. The clamp was not very...

The thread that I was reading said that you jump it to positive 12 volts? Is this...

Runs better now with clean plugs but will quickly foul plugs and then runs very poorly. I did a compression check on it and all cylinders are at 140 +/-...
