    An excellent video, I used it for my first attempt at a rebuild but a significant improvement for this process is after the carb is mounted to the block but BEFORE bolts are tightened (just catch some of the threads on the studs) and all other steps you mention are completed, install the idle/choke assembly. This made the installation very much easier as compared to what was demonstrated in your video.

    Hi Sterling, Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful👍 Referencing 10:00 on the video: I discovered an improved way to place the thin gasket portion when assembling the fuel pump. I placed it onto the outer housing / cover, dropped the bolts through and then easily placed it atop the rest of the assy. The hanging screws automatically align the gasket perfectly and it went right together.

    Thanks Sterling for a great instructional video. Just a warning to others , as my kit didn't come with the paper gaskets for the brass screws. It had a stainless and a brass washer that didn't fit them anyways. So make sure to do as you say and get the genuine kit. Cheers from Australia and keep up the great videos. Cheers.

    Missing the check ball in the primer for the carb and want a cheap replacement? The detent ball in a 1/4 drive socket extension fits and works. I used a cheap extension from an impact extension (1/4 hex to 1/4 square drive) and carefully cut the ball out.

  • @stevejones6111
    @stevejones6111 4 года назад +2

    Great video. You explained it well. That looks like a good quality carb kit. I bought a carb kit from an E-Bay vender for my 1999 Mech 25. It has a very similar carb with slight differences from this one. Taking in the account that these kits will fit many different carb applications you need to check the fit of the gasket against the OEM gaskets. Air flow is important. In my kit the gasket between the carb and engine had to be re-cut to add the circular cuts in the sides of the big opening like the OEM gasket has. On the same gasket the small hole that connects the engine vacuum to the fuel pump was placed wrong. It looks like a slot opening on the after market gasket. I had to take a paper punch and make the slot longer to align the gasket up to the opening in the carb so the vacuum flows unrestricted.

    • @martinmarine529
      @martinmarine529  4 года назад

      Yes the carburetors on the 25 are very similar. I’ve used the same kit a few times and it seems to work well I ordered the rest of them that he had in stock at the time.

    @14:08 - You reference a little BB that gets dropped back into the hole on that primer. What symptoms would be present if the BB were not there? I disassembled the carb to troubleshoot a flooding issue. There was no BB under the spring. It's not the first time the carb has been opened, so I'm wondering if the missing BB is causing the problem.

    Because the fuel and air passages in the carb body turn and redirect in directions you dont realise they can and often do project a stream of eye burning carb spray "right back into your face" its a good idera to wear chemical protection safety glasses whenever you use carb spray to clean a carb body.

  • @neiloboidicin5815

    Quick question... The correct side up of the float and float height. The manual states one inch, but it doesn't say 1 inch from the needle rim end or 1 inch from the bottom of the bowl (top of the centre tube).
    Thanks for the content. Ever in Ireland... I'll buy you a pint... or two.

    I very nice video, considering I'm rebuilding the same carb. One question.... what energizes the fuel pump? On many fuel pumps I see at least two ports, in and out. On this fuel pump there are no ports. Is the pump operated by the suction in the carb itself, and all fuel connections are located within the carb? Also, I had a leak in the small diameter hose at the bottom of the carb. What is that hose for, overflow gases?

    Sir, I have a 1986 Mercury 6hp but my carburetor does not have the plastic assembly with the spring and diaphragm in it. Mine has a solid piece thith the stop screw in it. I believe the model is Wmc5a. I do not understand how this pulses to get fuel ? There is nobody in my area that works on these old outboards. there is also a hose off the carburetor but not in the same location as the one on your carburetor. It was not connected to anything. I see a "T" in your vent hose , can you tell me where that hose connects on the engine ? Thanks
