• 1 × Carburetor Rebuild Kit (includes all necessary gaskets, diaphragms, and repair components for carburetor and fuel pump overhaul)

Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor and remove the engine cowling to access the carburetor assembly. Ensure the engine is cool and the ignition is off.
2. Remove the carburetor from the engine by disconnecting the throttle linkage and unbolting the mounting hardware. Take photos for reference during reassembly.
3. Disassemble the carburetor carefully, removing the fuel bowl, jets, needle valve, and float assembly. Keep all parts organized.
4. Clean all metal components thoroughly using carburetor cleaner and compressed air. Remove all old gasket material from mating surfaces.
5. Replace old gaskets and diaphragms with new components from the rebuild kit. Ensure proper orientation of all diaphragms per the kit instructions.
6. Inspect jets and passages for blockages or wear; clean or replace as needed. Verify the needle valve and seat are in good condition.
7. Reassemble the carburetor using new gaskets, ensuring all screws are tightened to proper torque specifications. Do not over-tighten delicate components.
8. Replace the fuel pump diaphragm using the components provided in the kit. Ensure the diaphragm is seated correctly without folds or damage.
9. Reinstall the carburetor onto the engine, reconnecting throttle linkage and fuel lines securely. Double-check all connections.
10. Prime the fuel system by squeezing the primer bulb until firm, then check for fuel leaks around all connections and gaskets.
11. Start the engine and allow it to warm up, then adjust idle speed and mixture settings as needed for smooth operation.
12. Test under load to verify proper throttle response and performance across the RPM range. Make final adjustments as necessary.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this rebuild kit fits my specific Mercury engine?
A: Check the serial number range in the Compatible Engine Models table above. Engines with serial numbers at or above the listed range are compatible. You can also cross-reference your current carburetor part number with the Part Number Cross-Reference table to verify compatibility.

Q: What are the signs that my carburetor needs rebuilding?
A: Common symptoms include rough idling, difficulty starting, poor throttle response, fuel leaking from the carburetor, or the engine running too rich or lean. If your engine exhibits these issues and basic cleaning doesn't help, a rebuild is likely needed.

Q: How often should I rebuild my carburetor?
A: Rebuild intervals depend on usage and fuel quality. For engines used regularly with fresh fuel, rebuild every 3–5 years or as symptoms appear. Engines stored long-term or using ethanol fuel may require more frequent service due to diaphragm deterioration and varnish buildup.

Q: Does this kit include everything I need for a complete carburetor overhaul?
A: Yes, this kit includes all essential gaskets, diaphragms, and repair components for both the carburetor and fuel pump system. However, if metal components like jets or the needle valve are damaged, those may need to be sourced separately.

Q: Can I install this kit myself or do I need a professional?
A: If you have basic mechanical skills and the proper tools, you can install this kit yourself by following the installation guide. However, proper carburetor tuning requires some experience, so professional installation is recommended if you're unsure about disassembly or adjustment procedures.
