    Mercruiser 170 Rough Idle on Start and High Oil Pressure

    any good mechanic knows to clean a carburetor is to remove the carburetor, pull it apart, go thru every passage and then install new gaskets and re-assemble the carburetor. as Mike stated there is no way to clean the carburetor and not "rebuild" it.
