I am trying to find a good rebuild kit. I don’t want to try to Decipher the crap on Amazon to find a good one, and I can’t figure out which kit I need from west marine.

Anyone with experience or know what kit? I would greatly appreciate it, as right now we are on land, and I believe that boats are meant for the water.

Thank you,
OCO

Looking for the motor serial number. If we know what kind of carb then we can make a good guess at the kit number

Might be a 2GC, Merc, other or TKS

Got the carb number and called Mikes. Got the kit on the way. Still not sure what carb I have but is was not the standard kit.

Thank you for all the help.

Always had good tech support from Mike's. Post a picture of the carb we can probably ID it. Does it have one or two idle mixture screws ?

If it is the factory carb it will be a mercarb.
