[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 90615, member: 55"] I would start with the gasket kit. The rebuild kit will contain stuff that probably isn't worn out. Such as needle valves and seats, floats, high and low speed jets etc. Chances are a good cleaning and fresh gaskets (always a good idea whenever you disassemble a carb), and you are good to go. What exactly does the carb rebuild kit for that particular motor come with? That sounds steep to me. Of course, I am a J/E guy, so it may be that Merc has a different markup, or specialty parts in there that I am unfamiliar with, but I have never seen a rebuild kit for a single barrel carb be over 30 bucks. Heck, the complete kits for each double barrel carb on a V6 Johnson (150 hp or higher), only run 35 bucks or so, and not only are they double barrel, they are much bigger than yours. [/QUOTE]
