Re: small mercury

Its a 2 cylinder. Thats my problem, the 9.9 and the 15 are vitually identical. Also I believe now that it is probably a Mariner if that makes any difference. In this state if its a 15 I need a title, if its a 9.9 I don't.

Re: small mercury

Probably too invasive, but:<br />HP - Main Jet Size<br /><br />9.9 - 0.048<br />15 - 0.072<br /><br />Mabey this will help?<br />1392-8846T20 9.9hp carb<br />1392- 9726T15 15hp carb<br /><br />The 15hp has a larger carb anyway.

Re: small mercury

mikemh,Step 1...try to find a number on your carb.Usually on the flange that holds it on the motor,but not always.WMC-47 (A) indicates 9.9.<br />WMC49 (A) indicates 15.<br />Hope this helps.<br />DHP

Re: small mercury

Serial number indicates that it is a 1995 model year 15 horsepower Mariner. You can check the carb for verification.<br /><br />Good luck!
