Merc Pump and Carb

[WOJO 1]

Forgive my ignorance but is this the fuel pump to the left of the carb? I think it is. I think I need a rebuild kit for this but the iboats store says from a certain serial number and above. My serial number is below that. How does one find a kit for this and the carb if the serial number is before what is listed? By the way it is a 1968 9.8 serial #2471766. Thanks

That is the fuel pump but the diaphram kit is not offered aftermarket for this model. You will need to order from Boats.net or a Merc dealer, the part # is 53245A1

That picture looks familiar. I wish my throttle adjustment plate had a bolt head on it instead of a flat screw driver head. Damn thats a pain to get to with the flywheel on!

Thanks Faztbullet for the info. I went and picked one up locally only to find out he gave me the wrong one. Found that out when I got home. I have one other question, can you tell by the picture what carb that is and what carb kit # would be needed to go through it? Thanks again.

You can get that kit here at iBoats if in stock, the part # is 18-7013 and it has new needle and seat.

Re: Merc Pump and Carb

One more question for you. Is there supposed to be something (air intake) on the front of the carb? This motor has nothing there and I would think there would be some sort of protection to there for water and such. Any thoughts?
