Just go to the link I posted, and look at the cover, the manual number is on the cover. The part number of the manual is in the lower right of the cover. That link IS the manual.

If you are looking for a service manual strictly for that carb, you aren't going to find one. It's just a section in the engine service manual.

There's nothing to send, just click on it, it works.

Don't try to copy and paste, it won't work, just click it.

He's not only 1 that can't open those links! I don't know the deal is but I get a new window & both processors kick in and run on a blank window/screen until "pop-up" says "End Process". Browser also shows I loose IE/not responding. Then I can't just close the "new" window, I have too get out of IE totally.

LOL, IE strikes again. I was using Google chrome and have no problems, just tried IE8 and lockup time. Can't help there, I have nothing to do with that site.

And if, like I do, you use Firefox you give microslush a kick in the pants to boot... :D:D:p

I have no idea why ANYBODY would still be using the worst browser on the planet (IE), when there are so many good ones to choose from! Firefox, Opera, even Chrome is better than IE. :facepalm:

Not a good look.... I have looked and they are all still available to purchase, so you have no excuse for putting it back together incompletely... There are 2 different pump styles available with the MerCarb. You need to go to a site with pictures (I use www.mercruiserparts.com) and identify the style you have and order the parts you need. Getting stuck out at sea because of a silly decision, like leaving a part out, is going to be embarrassing and expensive for the tow in...
