Mercarb Carburetor Rebuild Part 2 Assembly

[@Arcturian1111]

The best Mercruiser carb rebuild video on eBay, hands down. Great details, you speak so well. This looks so doable with these instructions. Now I can attempt it with no pressure.

Good luck. Take your time. Kit here: www.carburetor-parts.com/mercarb-carburetor-kit

​​​@@MikesCarburetor Hi Mike please make a note on this video that you may have put the accelerator pump on the wrong way, a few KZbinrs brought this up and commented about that. Please check. I could be wrong but I checked part 1 of disassembly and it looks like you put it in wrong on Video 2.

The best 2 part mercarb video on KZbin University.

[@curtishouseman9542]

These are hands down the best two part videos on this carb I've ever seen. It's quick, to the point and you are very informative. What seemed like an intimidating job to me turned out to be fun while watching you. Thank you sir!

[@flip2480]

Hey Mike thanks for everything your kit worked perfectly my boat is now sea worthy lol

[@jasonaheald]

Thanks for the great video! I was looking for rebuild kits for my carburetor, and after watching your videos I ordered from you! Can't thank you enough for the quality content you provide.

[@Arcturian1111]

2 issues I had. That power piston plunger wouldn't pop out so easily.... So I cleaned it thoroughly and left it in..., also the main power jet was a lil different. It had a pin, a spring and a nut in it. Replaced it with the new parts... Let's see if she fires up tomrw. I'm Keeping my fingers crossed. Overall this video helped me out tremendously... Big thanks Mike.

[@MikesCarburetor]

Appreciate the remarks.

[@mattl.3861]

Thanks Mike! Big help today!!!

[@Arcturian1111]

Be Advised 6:20. The accelerator pump was put back on the wrong way. I just watched Part 1 how Mike took it out.

[@iselili2]

Holy cow! Good looking out mate!! I went back and you are so right, I had to disassembled it again to fix it, thanks though i had not noticed at all❤

[@jonathanvildosola2824]

Great video. Thanks again. Super informative

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Great Job. Thank you,

[@Toyman-rj9vy]

Mike, the accelerator pump may be installed the wrong way. I did what you are showing but the arm of the pump with the c-clip gets hung up on the body of the carb when its assembled. There's a larger area for it to move inbound. I dont have any issue when its flipped the opposite way. Do you think there is an issue with the way Im doing it?

[@eaglescoveestates7175]

@@MikesCarburetor Mike, I also ran into the same problem. When the arm of the pump is installed as you show in the video the accelerator pump hangs up. Spent several hours trying to figure out what was the problem. This is a great quality video, it may be very helpful if you put a notation into your video to show the correction to save others the same issue. Thanks for your great videos.

[@jefffreeman644]

Yeah I noticed this right away just came to the comment section to make sure I wasn't seeing things lol good thing I took lots of pictures like you said to in the beginning 🤣🤣

[@pole_barn_builder]

Awesome video, helped alot Mike. Thank you. I feel a bit of resistance when the accelerater pump lever moves. Is this just because the pump is new and needs to break in a bit??

[@MikesCarburetor]

Make sure the rubber didn't curl over. Also if the check ball in the discharge isn't lifting it would cause the pump to stroke hard. Did you smooth the pump well with crocus cloth. www.carburetor-parts.com/sanding-cloth-cc2

[@pole_barn_builder]

@@MikesCarburetor Thank you for the response!! Im going to open it back up and take a look! Thanks again!

[@micahinmaine]

Watching this after doing mine to see if I did it right

[@larrywalden626]

Mike, what do you mean by "stake it down" when putting parts back together?

[@flip2480]

hello Mike thanks for the video im having trouble after my rebuild i believe it might be my aux pump im getting some fuel out of my vent on top of the carb any suggestions ?

[@flip2480]

Well it was running correctly for about a hole minute lol now I got fuel in the float bowl but it’s not spraying out of the jets I love owning a boat

[@BretMcCoy1967]

OK, if you are turning the choke COUNTER clockwise to close the valve, then another 1/8 turn... the word "another" implies continuing COUNTER clockwise, but you say CLOCKwise. Do I continue to turn it an additional 1/8 turn, or am I backing it off an 1/8 turn?

[@MikesCarburetor]

You want it a bit tigher.

[@levikeefauver726]

Hello Mike I just took apart my mercarb needed a cleaning after sitting for a couple years. I watched your video on the fast idle and choke adjustment my carb looks very similar but it doesn't seem to have any variation in the cam to open the throttle when the choke opens also doesn't have the bend at the bottom of the throttle to open the choke on full throttle did they make an older model carb without those features?

[@meganperry5307]

I have a Mercruiser 5.0 with TKS carb that was giving me trouble in the beginning of this summer, I changed it out with a older electric choke carb to get me through the summer and verify that I indeed had a carb problem. I now have the time to rebuild the TKS carb. I have noticed looking down into the throat that there is a buildup of carbon on the venturi, everything below the venturi is clean, what would cause this and where should I focus my rebuild/cleaning?

[@mybugguypestsolutionshoels2789]

Mike, do you work at Martin Marine?

[@ronpotter1925]

Mike what is the measurement and where do I measure for the drop on the float ?

[@patricktucker9950]

Quick question I have this same mer carb you show here but I have 2 holes in the accelerator pump Gally floor like mentioned in your other video. I put the ball in there is that correct on this model? Or do I need to take apart and remove ball?

[@TheBeatlemanic]

I rebuilt my 2bbl, carb. Why is there fuel going into crankcase (Oil). I have an electric fuel pump with 5 p.s.i. spark plugs are flooded with fuel. Told either I did something wrong, or just a bad card. What do you think it is?

[@MrsBuddevil]

Could super lube or 3 n 1 oil (the blue kind) be used in place of silicone spray?

[@MikesCarburetor]

Not sure. I would have to test it against the ethanol gas. I know wd14 will ruin the gaskets.

[@chuckmac618]

how easy is it to rebuild a Edelbrock Carburetor 1405 with manual choke

[@iselili2]

Watch out for accelerator pump got turned around on the second video!! Read comment below, @arcturian1111 saved the day… What an excellent job and sure right about taking pictures, thank you! I just did my very first carburetor rebuilt thanks to you🙏🏼

[@MikesCarburetor]

Good to hear.

[@MikesCarburetor]

Good to hear.

[@General20201]

My seat and needle seems smaller than my old one that was in there. Is this going to be a problem or it shouldn’t matter?

[@General20201]

Mikes Carburetor there is a opened package which reads 31-744 16B2. I just noticed the holes on seat are smaller diameter on new one vs old one.

[@cloudscoffee5848]

At 18:44 you show the throttle arm when fully open, opens the choke plate a little - My throttle arm does not have a tang on it that opens the choke when the throttle is fully open. Is this normal?

[@1973deepee]

Mine, a 3310-805924A-1 (stamped 05924A-1), does not have the choke unloader adjustment tang. Instead, there is an air bypass built into the top, right next to where a gap would be measured in the choke valve such that when the valve is completely closed, air can enter the throat. Hope that helps someone.

[@1oldteck]

I have a this carb. And need it rebuild by you. What is your price and timeframe for getting it done and back to me. (it have 2 mixture jets. ?? 1987 COBRA 4.3v-6

[@1oldteck]

@@MikesCarburetor do you sell new?

[@ktap3621]

Get yourself some decent tools.

[@christianspry1518]

Was the power piston included with the rebuild kit?
