The only jet you have is the high speed and it in the hollow bolt that holds bowl on, the brass extensions in carbs are emulsion tubes and pressed in so dont try to remove.....

Re: 1991 mariner 20hp carb issue

ok that makes sense but how do i know there isnt a bunch of crud in the emulsion tubes, there is a bigger one maybe 3/16 of an inch that only goes about 1/3 of the way thru the air intake portion of the carb, then there is the narrower but longer tube (inside of the other said tube) that goes from the bowl of the carb all the way thru to the top, there has to be crud in those right??

thanks for the input

A good soak in a semi caustic carb cleaner along with a ultra sonic clean will clean it as best as it will get....
