    Mercarb 2 barrel TKS jet sizes?

    That’s what I’ve gathered. First boat I’ve had with a carb and I don’t care much for it. First I didn’t realize they were different sizes and put the enrichment jet in the other and it had me stumped lol

    Saw what looked like water in carb so I took the separator out emptied it and refilled with good fuel. No problem however it did overheat. I was revving it up a bit do you think that the muffs aren’t meant to be used in this matter? It has a new impeller and thermostat
