That’s what I’ve gathered. First boat I’ve had with a carb and I don’t care much for it. First I didn’t realize they were different sizes and put the enrichment jet in the other and it had me stumped lol
I think I got it straightened out thanks. So just so I understand, the enrichment is only used during cold start and the 2 main jets supply fuel on the regular?
I didn’t realize there were different size jets when I broke my carb down for rebuild. The 2 barrel mercarb TKS goes on a 5.0 Mercruiser. Does anyone know which ones goes where?
I wouldn’t say 10’ spray but definitely getting a bit less. I’m losing quite a bit of water around the seal on muffs. Seems like they used to fit tighter…
Saw what looked like water in carb so I took the separator out emptied it and refilled with good fuel. No problem however it did overheat. I was revving it up a bit do you think that the muffs aren’t meant to be used in this matter? It has a new impeller and thermostat
Once I pulled the fuel line off I noticed something inside it and pulled this out. The guy at ORieleys said it looks like a fuel line inside a fuel line
