Hi.
I have the genuine Mercury Manual but I thought I'd ask here for pointers. The purpose of the "rebuild" is general maintenance with the hopes of improving idle and mid-range performance. All suggestions will be appreciated.
Are there any typically "forgotten areas" on these carbs? Should welch plugs be removed? Should I soak or just spray? Any problem areas and pitfalls that I should be aware of?
I made myself a float height adjustment ruler...and I have a new gasket set. I have shied away from getting the full re-build kit ($60 each)...but I will probably get the float kit which includes the needle and seat.
Sierra is OK? In this application their prices are a lot lower than Mercury.
Thanks folks
Chuck
