Re: 1978 mercury 115hp gas pouring out of middle carb
As stated- it all depends on your aptitude. I could do it in under an hour- you may not know the difference between a fuel bowl and a cereal bowl. LOL I don't know what you can do. <br /><br /> #1- Have a manual handy for reference. Take a few pictures or even sketch the arrangement before disassembly. You can tag hoses and/or linkages as you remove them. I wouldn't think that it is too horribly compiplicated- cowling, air horn, linkage, fuel lines, etc. However, space is tight and some "special tools" may be required. <br /><br />#2- Take it slow and be deliberate- try to remember where stuff comes off. Call your parts guy with a model # and a serial # to see if parts are available or if he will need to order them for you. You may forget things by the time an order comes in. <br /><br />#3- Do it in a clean, well-lit and unclutteres area- I hate it when I lose a special screw or bolt and can't use something handy. Lay out the parts you remove in an orderly fashion to help put them back on. <br /><br />#4- Call a shop and see if they will do it. Most won't work on older outboards so that may not be an option. You'll need to scope it out in your area. <br /><br />#5- Ask here- lots of guys here can help. There is an incredible amount of knowledge floating around on this site. Take advantage of it. <br /><br />UFM82
