Re: idle tube

Carburator idle tube? Do you mean the actual idle adjustment screw?

Re: idle tube

There is an idle tube on the carburetor and they will get so worn that they will wear thru on the side that touches the tube they go in. Mercury manual says it MUST touch the front side of the tube when installed.
I have found the tubes available at: www.usboats.com

Seaway Marine in Washington state has a lot of NLA parts. It is useful to have a part number too.
