Re: 1987 35 hp mercury carb help
Shawn...carb kits usually have a mixture of gaskets, +/- jets, +/- mixing (adjusting) screws, float pin etc. You'll need to supply your own cleaning solvent. Something I've learned over time...before removing any mixing screws, gently tighten up on them until you JUST feel a little resistance, and count the number of rotations it took to do this. Later when you replace these screws, you once again tighten them in until you JUST get some resistance, and then back them out the number of turns you counted before. Assuming that the settings were good or ball park when they were removed, you now have them right back where you started. One other thing...make sure the cleaning solvent you are using won't destroy any plastic or rubber parts. Usually you remove these before any soaking if you intend to do that. Good luck!
