Working on my daughters 1991 Glastron, 4.3 Mercruiser, mercruiser 2 bbl, W/ Alpha 1 drive. The carb is making a very loud whistling noise which is comming from a port on the top left of the carb, if I put my finger over the port it kills the engine. Also this carb does not have a choke flap on it. The carb was replaced by by a local marina a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas?? Thanks Oh, the boat was put in the shop because it was flooding at idle. After they rebuilt the carb they called and said the carb was bad as it would not get fuel now so it would have to be replaced?? Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Carb Question

If what you say was, then you got ripped off! Match the carb part numbers to what it should have.

Sounds like they replaced it with a TKS carb maybe.

Re: Carb Question

Thanks for the info. After checking it is a TKS carb. The marina is going to make it right so all is good. Thanks again.
