Merc Carb trouble

[bob 1966]

I have a 1986 merc 50 hp 4 cil with 2 carbs. I want to rebuild them but I have no idea how to get them off the motor there is not room enough for 1 finger. So my question is? dose anyone know how to do this. I would be very greatful if someone could help me out. I would love it if there was something with step by step pictures for me to follow.

I am also having trouble finding a full rebuild kit that comes with the needle and seat and float and so on.

SN# 6540369

Carb # WMA3-1

Thank you for your time
Bob

I am also looking for a power trim unit for this motor.

Re: Merc Carb trouble

I just recently removed my carbs and install carb kits, which included the new needle and seat. If you need new floats, they're available online or from NAPA, which had most of what I needed, or could have it the next morning.
I had to remove the starter and the magneto to get to the carburetors.

First, order a service manual for this motor so you don't mess it up. You really have to follow the step-by-step instructions and photographs in the book if you want to do this job and have much hope that the motor will run afterwards.

Then you can buy carburetor kits and fuel pump kits and most everything else for this motor right here on iboats.com or over on oldmercs.com .

You don't want to tackle this job without having the parts and the manual on hand. Then you'll get it right and you'll be happy with the motor and with your work.
