I keep seeing this "Rochester" word on all of the eBay carb rebuild kits, and after watching a couple carb videos a guy in one of them said there is a difference and they are often confused. I don't want to order the wrong rebuild kit so I am coming here. How do I know if I have a rochester carb or not?

Will this work: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NIB-Mercruise...3D291204663865 ?

I am in Canada and just trying to find a decent price on a rebuild kit for my mercruiser 3.0 carb number 807504.

Thank you

That's a MercCarb not a rochester I believe
Mercruiser kit is 3302-804844002
Sierra kit is 18-7098-1

Thank you for the reply and the part numbers. I will buy one of those and not a rochester one, too bad because all the rochester kits are quite a bit cheaper!

I have one more question for somebody. When working on my engine earlier I noticed these two wires with no connections coming off a part of the ignition system. I happened to be watching a video on youtube and saw the exact same two wires disconnected from the video guys system too. What are these wires for? I found it weird they are off on mine and his. Although his engine is out of the boat so I am thinking maybe he disconnected then from something that was left in the boat when the engine was removed. I linked a picture, I am referring to those two white wires with the crimps on the ends on the right hand side of the box with the wires.

You put a jumper wire between these two connections to put the ignition in base mode to set initial timing.

An easy way to tell the which you have is by the idle mix screws. The mercarb has 1 and the rochester has 2.
