Carburetor Rebuild Kits For Outboard Motors
A carburetor is a device that mixes fuel and oil together in the proper ratio before delivering it to the engine.3329-857102t carburetor kit 4 pcs/1 set for mercury 60hp 4 stroke 4 cyl outboard motor A two-stroke carburetor does this at the same time as the engine is running, whereas a four-stroke carburetor delivers only gasoline to the engine.
If your engine requires a carburetor adjustment, first warm it up to operating temperature and remove the cowling cover or other access panel that covers the carburetors. Next, you'll need to detach the carburetor-to-engine linkages and take apart each component for cleaning and inspection. It's helpful to set each part on a clean shop towel as you work. This not only keeps parts from getting lost, it makes reassembly faster and easier.
While the carburetor is disassembled, you can use a small screwdriver to release the float needle from its seat and replace it with a fresh one. Be sure to set the old needle and seat aside for reinstallation later. Next, check the float bowl for gum and varnish that can clog tiny jets and passages. While the term "rebuilding" a carburetor might scare off many boaters, this task is actually pretty simple and can be accomplished by an experienced do-it-yourselfer in a couple of hours. Wholesale Marine carries a variety of Mercury carburetor rebuild kits that will help you get the job done quickly and easily.
After inspecting the carburetor and reinstalling any components that were removed, replace the fuel filter and water separator (if applicable). Be sure to clean the old oil drain screw and o-ring with grease or a light coat of petroleum jelly before installing the new oil filter. Finally, spin on the new filter and carefully tighten to seat the o-ring without over-torquing.
