1995 Force 70 HP

[DerrickD]

I have just dis-assembled the carburetor for this engine and have noticed that the high speed<br />jet is stamped with "094". I operate the motor primarily at altitudes of around 2500-4000 ft above sea level and occasionally around 1000 - <br />1500 ft, but never at sea level. Is this the correct jet size for my purposes?

Hi Derrick, welcome to iboats.<br /><br />I also have a '95 70 hp, its been good to me.<br /><br />The Mercury website lists 5 main jet sizes and their corresponding recommended elevations. They are:<br /><br />.094 0-1500'<br />.092 1500-3000'<br />.090 3000-4500'<br />.088 4500-6000'<br />.086 6000-10,000'<br /><br />You can get the optional jets from a Merc dealer for under $5 each. <br /><br />You could almost go to the .090 size, but that might make the engine run a little lean at lower elavations. And you don't want a 2 cycle motor to run lean, as it will starve it of lubrication. So I guess I would go with the .092 jet size.<br /><br />Or order them from here ( an online merc dealer):<br /><br /> http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show...089/23.png&inbr=1460&bnbr=13&bdesc=CARBURETOR <br /><br />I have run mine from 800'- 2000' using the .094 jet

Thanks Roscoe,<br />I have decided to go with .090, .092, and the existing .094. It only takes about 5 minutes to change these jets, so I decided to cover all of the ranges.
