1996 Merc Carb 2 barrel with the 3 hole pump rod "lever" for the accelerator pump. The pump rod has always gone in the "middle" hole. My question is about the measurement of the pump rod. The only way I can get the 29mm measurement is to actually bend the rod at the idle cam to where it forces the "lever" up a tad on the accelerator pump. I was always told to just leave the throttle valves closed, make sure the accelerator pump "lever" does not move up or down, and then bend the rod to match both attaching points. Like I said, the only way I can achieve 29mm is to have the accelerator pump "lever" forced up a tad (maybe 1/8 inch higher than the last setup. Merc Carb 3310-806972A 1.
