1966 Merc 110 9.8 Hp Condensers!!

The points were adjusted properly and cleaned. I have it running not too bad now, still the same stumping while idling up,, no back firing now, only when it is cold. There is no stamping or sticker on it regarding timing. SO I guess the manual is right. Maybe i'll take the carb apart and do it myself. Guessing the side bowl has to come off first to get the rest off

If it is a KB series carb, the side bowl with the filter housing on the top is all one piece, should come off as a complete unit.

If you look at the link you will see a picture of the KB series carbs, this company has a brand new old stock for $95, which is really a good buy.

I'm just wondering if its somehow flooding itself when Idling up, when it bogs down you can see the fuel in the tube on the side.. then it goes clear when it stops bogging.. would that mean the float would be set too low in the bowl.. ? Sorry for all the questions. I had working on carbs.. lol

The float could very well be off, that happens quite often when someone rebuilds one of these older carbs.

Can you suggest a good place to get wires for this thing. or a possible parts number For Spark plug wires! or is it just easier to make them

Well figured out this today. The carb wasnt totally rebuilt. Just a new air/fuel mixture screw. I took it apart and noticed some wear on some of the brass fittings. So gonna order a kit. The float bowl setting was also incorrect. So set in to the proper setting. Also bought new points for it and looking for a wire set. Gonna take it for a spin in the lake tomorrow.

carbs need setting up after cleaning and disassembly. Also look at your timing.

 

[jaystersj]

The carb is set. According to the Chylmers manual
There is no timing adjustment for this model year. Theres no sticker or markings on the flywheel either

Took it for run,, wasn't too bad, expected it to plane out a little more. But did a little more fine tuning , and gonna get the points in it , still bogs a bit till it warms up!
