    Motor running low on rpm's

    Howdy Need to know what your fuel pressure is. Will need to get an adapter to put in line at the TB to measure, something like this which is Merc 91-806901 and a gauge which measures at least 100 psi. Gauges can be borrowed from the local autoparts stores in most cases

    Carburetor Port

    The glass thing appears to be called a sight glass (item 9). Appears to be used prior to using clear tubing. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31737/990/30 If it was mine, I would remove the sight glass and install a barbed fitting with tubing going to the carb.
