[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 408245, member: 9937"] Good evening all, First of all I welcome any and all help. Just wanted to snag Pappys attention! As for my issue, I brought my 1988 Mercury 20 to the river yesterday. It ended up dieing on me so I had to troll back to the ramp. Got home, pulled the carb. Found the needle and seat was stuck, pulled the needle out and the rubber tip came right off. Also found the fuel pump to be nearly eaten through. So, carb kit is on order. My motor is an 0B293861, which comes up as an 88. The kit I ordered was a 9802 carb kit. The kit shows a S/S needle with standard replaceable seat. My current needle is rubber tipped and the seat is non replaceable. So what in the world do I do? There's no info to speak icon the net that I can find. I would assume a metal On metal seat isn't correct? [/QUOTE]
