I have a 2012 4 stroke 6HP Mercury: 1FX6201EK. It does not like ethanol much, and in trying to get the main jet out to overhaul the carb, I managed to damage the main jet threads. I've thought about JB weld or trying into put in a sleeve and then tap it, but the carbs are pretty cheap. I have the jets and seals (not the mix tube) and wonder what is the cheapest Tohatsu carb that would fit.
I'm assuming the cheap Chinese Italco ones are to be avoided, and don't want to pay $250 for the Merc OEM. My Keihin carb says 3JEADE ? and I've read a bunch of archives here and found this number: 3R4032001, which I found on Ebay for $120. Anyone know if that carb will work on mine motor?
