engine is a 96 4.3lx mercruiser in lund tyee alpha drive
engine serial number is 0F294871
carb is 4 barrel, can't find any numbers on it
not sure type, not a holley, maybe a carter.

anyway, i need a carb kit for it, and was hoping someone could give me the correct part number for one. also if someone could tell me the hp rating of my motor, that would be appreciated as well.

Go up to the adult only sticky and download the manal for your engine. You will be able to identify you carb from the pics in it. My 94 4.3LX has a Weber carb on it yours might too, but not sure.

Most likely its a Mercarb or a Rochester...Should be numbers stamped into the side of the carb..

following the advice of others on here i have a 9600 weber 4bbl on a 4.3 also. i bought the rebuild kit for an edlebrock performer series carb and the 4.3 calibration with jets and metering rods and runs very well now. alot cheaper than other kits and or buyin new carb and seems to work out very well. .

Don't have a pn handy, but if you do a quick search on summit or jegs you'll come up with one. Very common carb.
