GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Hey guys, so I just wanted to update u on my situation. Finally I found out what was going on. So the carb that I ordered turned out to be defected. The mixture screw was not adjusting correctly. You would keep turning it either direction and nothing was changing the engine performance...
This is the carburetor. And the picture with that adjustment screw, that's the screw that my old carb did not have in that spot. Also a picture of the antisiphon valve

Hey!! I have a mercury Mercruiser 3.0 with a Mercarb 2 barrel carb. I just recently had it rebuild. I was just wondering if there is more than one type of applications for the Mercarb? Meaning that my original one had only one adjustment screw by the throttle arm and the new one has 2. The other...
