    This piece in the kit did not match what was in the carb so I did not change it.

    I got a carb kit and rebuilt the carb. It was in bad shape. Very dirty and check out this bent pin.

    Yesterday, if I put gas in the chamber it fired up no problem. I tried tapping on it and no luck. Fuel is not making it from the pipe to the chamber. Will spraying carb cleaner or air into the intake where the fuel is being blocked work to open it up until I rebuild it later? Three day weekend...

    The boat would not start. After finagling with it for a while, while on the water, I found when I removed the pipe connector coming from the fuel pump to the carb/intake, that there was plenty of fuel making it that far. But when it is connected to the carb/intake, no fuel comes in the chamber...

    Carb/intake not getting fuel

    Can i poke something in or use air compressor to blow it out? If not, can I remove the top assembly to see if float is sticking?

    I got my Bellow Kit, but it was mentioned that a Bellows Tube is better? Should I get that? If so, where? I am not having luck finding a bellows tube kit anywhere.

    Any suggestions on where to get a physical one? I bought the Seloc, because it was the only one I could find.

    I also did get the Seloc MerCruiser Stern Drives 1992-2000 Repair Manual, but someone earlier said the are junk. I spent $50 on this manual, should I return it? Something better recommended?

    This is what I am considering since it is pretty simple and easy to build. Like my egg crate dirtbike stands. :D

    It will not be winter in Texas for several months. That usually starts in January and hot until then. :D Oil and Drive Lube are good. I checked those. The Power steering fluid is good and the SAE hydrolic fluid is good (Which is great because I have no idea what to top it off with, lol)...

    Are his videos in random spots, so just search by his name? I did not see a sticky with videos, but may have overlooked it.

    On one hand, it made sense since it would be easier to monitor water coming out, than coming in, since I will pretty much not be able to see much past the engine. On the other hand, it sounds like a terrible idea to fill my bilge up with water. :D

    No, my back is good. I am an international Judo competitor. :) Not sold on the drive jack after watching numerous videos without one :P I might change my mind after trying to hold it and set it though?

    I have watched several videos of people pulling the drive and replacing the gimbal, the bellows and the impeller and they never used any out of the ordinary tools. And a lot of those stickies seem to go to broken links or wrong pages.
