Mariner Magnum 40

Re: Mariner Magnum 40

Hi, Im back from the "outback" as you probably would have called it Chris. Had a great time with nice weather and two two pound (1kg) golden mountain trout cought on dryfly in my back pack. <br />Im going to work tomorrow and will be gone until friday. <br />Did you understand my explanation about the carb sealent which covered the slot and a "backhole" to the idle mixture screw? <br />You would not belive what I must pay for a carb rebuilding set! More than US $100 for each set. When you are talking about a carb rebuilding set, $10-15 is a normal price. Is this only the gaskets cause they cost only $ 12 for each carb and $17 for the oilpump. What do I need under normal conditions? Full rebuild set or only a gasket set for the carbs?<br /><br />Paul

... Yes ....<br /><br />What's in this 'rebuild' kit? I would have thought the gasket set and a 'needle and seat' would have been enough.<br /><br />Chris.........

Re: Mariner Magnum 40

Dunno what happened Noodles.<br /><br />I do know that having raved about the Mariner Magnum 40 I then sold it with the boat and the new owner managed to self-detonate a conrod through the side of it on his first outing <br />I have no idea what happened, although I have my suspicions about the engine being run without water but not my problem <br /><br />I too would love to know if NV ever got his engine sorted............
