I'm new to this forum. I boat on the Chesapeake Bay.
After searching the forum, the net, and site store it seems that there is not a carb kit for my 89 115ETLF. The motor is new to me and the previous owner mentioned that he had tried to adjust the carb to get it to idle "better." At that point I decided that I'd rebuild the carbs before splashing the boat.
I've rebuilt carbs on cars, the 4bbl on my 5.7 volvo penta, and many times on my old Ford 8N. My problem is that I can seem to find a kit. One vendor told me to give him a list of parts.
From my experience I'm guessing that I need:
all gaskets- with extra body gaskets for possible take downs in the future
air adjust screws - perhaps a couple to replace any that have been grooved
float needles and clips for all
New jets just in case (plan on cleaning old - welding tip cleaner & air)
Do I need new nozzles?
Other Parts?
What is the part# of the gasket between the carb and the engine?
I plan to:
Refill lower unit
Change Plugs
Rebuild carbs
Grease engine
Water pump
Fuel pump
Decarbonize and start using Ringfree
Pull prop and lubricate with disc brake grease......
Anything else?
Many thanks for any input.
