Get A Mercury Outboard Carburetor Rebuild Kit
The term “rebuilding” might concern boaters who have not attempted this procedure before, but rebuilding your Mercury outboard carburetor isn’t that difficult. Rebuilding simply means cleaning the varnish and gum from the float bowl, jets, and passages. This can be done even by a first-timer in a couple of hours. Wholesale Marine carries Mercury outboard carburetor rebuild kits and carb cleaners that make it easy to perform this task like a pro.
Wholesale Marine knows that for boaters, their craft is their passion. Performing simple maintenance procedures not only provides a feeling of satisfaction over a job well done but saves money and may also prevent expensive repairs later on. Here’s how to rebuild a Mercury carburetor:
Rebuilding Mercury Carburetors: An Overview
For Best Results Use a Mercury Carburetor Kit from Wholesale Marine
1) Detach fuel lines. Remove the primer bulb fuel from the engine. Next, disconnect the fuel line that runs directly from the carburetor. Also, disconnect any carb-to-engine linkages as well. Unbolt the carburetor from the intake manifold.
2) Take the carburetor apart. Be sure to place each component on a clean shop towel. Not only will it make reassembly faster, but it is the best way to prevent lost parts. Set the needle and seat aside.
3) Shake the float. It should be empty. If not, replace it as well.
4) Clean the parts. Once the carburetor has been disassembled, it is most important that you clean every crevice as thoroughly as possible. Take your time as this is key to the success of the task. We recommend Quicksilver Power Tune and Sierra Carbon Free Aerosol to make short work of this critical stage of the process.
5) Reassemble. Using a Mercury outboard carburetor rebuild kit, start the reassembly. Wholesale Marine offers an extended selection of Mercury carburetors and components for specific outboard models. If you have questions, call us, and we’ll be glad to assist you in making the right selection.
