Ok I have a 1980 Merc 25hp. I was cleaning the carb and the needle fell apart on me. I have been looking for the part on mercury express and other sites and it appears it is not available. Where can i get one from?

PS. the repair kit does not come with it.

So I call those guys and they told me the same thing. Part is obsolete! This is not looking good.

The bad part is that some of them show them as having the part. But when you call that is not the case. I am in SC and yesterday I called nearly 10 different states looking for this part. Oh well the hunt continues!

I find this question interesting! I have not found two part numbers for the needle there for I was under the impression there was only one size. The needle I have was about 3/4 of an inch long.

I do realize that. I would have thought by now someone would have ran into this might have known a cross reference. Still on the hunt.

Re: 25hp Merc carb parts!

Thank you for the sites. I have pretty much called anyone that you can google or Yahoo for these parts. I have taken measurements and made a drawing so. Now I need to go to the boat store and see if they have needles and will let me look and measure them. If I find one that will work I will let you all know.

Thanks for the help.
