Thanks! Your video helped me figure out how the float and metal cage go together, after not noticing before taking it apart!

I watched your video to see the strainer and gaskets. Out of 4 videos I saw no one seems to realize there is a gasket inside the strainer screw/housing. I was wondering where it went or if I needed it (as it is in the parts diagrams), but no one showed this in their videos. Thanks for being thorough. Liked and Subscribed :)

@@vladkorzun I don't know if you ever resolved your issue or not, but this video did not go into checking to be sure passageways are clear. I ended up tearing back into my carb after watching another video and cleaning the accelerator pump passageways. This resolved my issues of bogging down at about 2000 to 2500. I could get to the higher RPMs, but I had to go slow and mess with my throttle to do it. Tomorrow I'm hitting a late to see if all my issues are finally resolved. No test like under power.

I only replaced the components that the rebuild kit that I mentioned came with. I suppose if the carb was still running rough afterwards I would have chased some of those other things down, but this rebuild took me 2 hours - and only that long because I let it soak in the carb cleaner. It ran great afterwards, so I didn't pursue it.

Chris, since your video is only 10 min since you did a lot of FF'ing, do you have an actual time for the process?Since carb was already removed I don't need the removal time just the actual rebuild time. I'm in the business but can't afford to buy a Mercruiser book for every Merc to get all the flat rates times lol. I'm guessing about 45m-1hr rebuild/clean time? Thanks, good video.

There are adjustments for the float level that you make by bending the linkage arm and measuring the float height against the spec in the kit. When you have the kit instructions it's fairly obvious, but it lists about 30+ different applications, so I wasn't going to read the float height for each line.

Hi, I have one of these carbs that I am trying to rebuild. The accelerator pump seems to be holding the two halves together. I am afraid to brute force it apart, is there something down in the accelerator pump that could be holding it together that I need to disassemble first? My engine is a Merc 3.0 140 4 cylinder but the carb looks exactly the same. Thanks in advance.

I have a 79 sun runner. it has the merchant just like this video. around 1500 rpms it smell rich and dies Everytime unless I push through it (full throttle) and pull it back again. it only does it under a load. I have had the carburator cleaned and put backed together. do I need a repair kit at this point or is this a different problem?
@SlideruleRacingProducts
@SlideruleRacingProducts 6 жыл бұрын
I would say that you should get a rebuild kit and rebuild it with new parts. Getting rich and dying after a full throttle pump could be a few different things (accel pump over enriching, float too high, valve seat/spring too weak to close the flow on time, etc). Start with a complete and fresh rebuild with the float and accel pmp linkages dialed in to spec and then see where you are.

+Ronald Jensen Hi Ron, They are marketed as MerCarb carburetors, so presumably, they were originally 'made' by Mercruiser. It wouldn't surprised me to find out that the castings were done by Rochester or a similar company, though. The rebuild kit part number I list is supposedly good for all Mercarb 2 barrels back to 1985, so it's a pretty good chance that it's the correct rebuild kit for your carb. Good luck!

Hi Elite - when I clean my carbs, i have a 2 step process... after completely disassembling when possible, the first step is that I soak it in a 1 gallon pail of Gunk carb parts cleaner. Depending on it's condition, I soak for 1-2 days and may brush it a couple of times during the soak. Then I put it in the ultrasonic cleaner with a diluted simple green mix. I only run that for 10 minutes or so. Then compressed air to blow everything out.

I had to put a dislike on this video. This is only a partial rebuild and cleaning. I followed this and discovered I had a torn accelerator pump cup washer. I am not a mechanic, but a computer tech. Seeing you stop where you did in your video helped me to decide to stop there as well. After all, I found the torn cup washer on the accelerator and since my accelerator pump had quit working I had obviously found the problem. Well of course I put my carb back together and the boat still is exhibiting the same behavior. After trying a few things with the timing and the ignition system I finally look down the throat of the carb to find that the accelerator pump still is not pumping streams of gas down the throat of the carb. I watched another video that was a complete tear down. I pulled my carb and while tearing it down paid close attention to the pathways that seemed to be for the accelerator. I found to holes in the body of the venturi that were where the gas from the accelerator shots out. These happened to be clogged. I was able to clear them and now the motor is running great! I wish I had watched the other video first. It was a thorough tear down, not just a partial. For a non-mechanic like myself, seeing the full rebuild helped me understand the workings of my carburetor and trouble shoot the entire problem I had. Calling this video "How to Rebuild..." is a bit of a joke, because it is so very incomplete.

Sorry you're disappointed. I'll refund everything you paid me for the video. Ha! I'm curious why you bothered reassembling if you had 'obviously found the problem'. If you actually followed my instructions and used the kit I referenced, you would have REPLACED the entire accelerator pump assembly - cup washer and all - just as I did in the video. You also didn't soak in the carb cleaner and then clean in an ultrasonic bath as I instructed because those steps have ALWAYS cleared all of the orifices in carb bodies that I have ever cleaned as long as the jets have been removed first.
