I have a Mercruiser engine- SN=0f758732 3.0L LX Alpha One. I lost the nut on top of my Carburator cover. I want to replace it with a wing nut. I just want to know the size of this nut. The closest Mercury dealer is 2 hours away, so I would buy one at my local garage. Any help on this would be much apprieciated. Thanks
