    carb rebuild questions

    The carb on my boat needs to be rebuilt. The carb is a 2 barrel Mercarb. What I can't verify is, do I need the kit with a 90 in the accelerator pump (new style) or the older style with a straight shaft? My boat is a 1991 VIP Vision 1760. It has the 3.0L and alpha drive. Thanks, Zach
