Re: Mariner 40E carb

I will probably get looked down on for saying this, but I would just try cleaning it really good first. Umm, I have had three motors which hadn't run in anywhere from 5 to 15 years and all I did was clean them up really good and they work fine. Just be really careful when taking the carb off of the intake not to tear the gasket and be really careful not to tear any other gaskets or rubber seals in the process. Go to the parts store and get at least two cans of carb cleaner and clean the **** out off it. Do all of the cleaning over a small bucket or something to catch the excess carb cleaner. Then let the parts sit and soak in the leftover liquid in the bucket over night and blow them off again the next day. you will want to wear rubber gloves while doing this and I recommend a small wire brush to get the nitty gritty out, you could also scrape with a small flat screwdriver.

Re: Mariner 40E carb

do it in sections. take the bowl off and clean everything in there. put it together and start with something else. Take out one screw at a time, careful on the idle adjustment screws to count how many turns it took you to get it out, and put it back just the way you found it. It is not hard at all. Getting the carb off of the engine is the toughest part.

Buy the rebuild kit, Your seal to the power head is not going to come off without damage. Also, buy the manual. It tells you exactly what to do.
I just went through the same thing. I have a 40 6E9. These are japanese build mariners
Yamaha parts work if you find the right ones.
try your yamaha dealer, I found a guy that knew what I needed.
