Well the marina tells me that the parts i need for a carb rebuild are "obsolete". After doing research it seems that this is basically true, however I find it hard to believe that there isn't someone out there who has what I need. I'm looking for anyone with any connections on tracking down a carburetor for my Mercury 18hp. The motor is from the early 80's, I think 83, and I need either a new carb or the rebuild kit for the one I have.
I have also heard that the carb from the 25hp from the same years is compatible. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Mercury Carb Need

You need kit or hard parts? That carb should have a round top cap on it, is that correct??

I need the a new inlet needle and seat. I found another thread that says a chainsaw kit has the exact same needle and seat so I think i'm going to try that. And yes the carb has a round top cap on it.
