I have a 165merc. 470 is what most of you guys call it. Four banger...anyway I rebuilt the carb last night and the only thing I have left to do is figure out where to install the piece that the wire plugs into. Sorry no pics, but what it does is holds the butterfly open, almost like a automatic choke, or idle control. The top butterfly in the carb is what I am talking about. The part has a male end that accepts a wire from the boat. Also has a ground hook up...it is bolted to the side of the two barrel carb. The other side of the carb has a linkage that is mech. controlled. When you open the gas all the way the top butterfly will open. I am guessing the object controlls the idle. I took it off and cleaned inside it and there was a coil of wire..that kinda catches a hook that controls the butterfly.
I know is is kinda gonna be a long shot, but I have typed this whole thing off my black berry! Internet is down at the moment and therefore I cant take a pic and add it here. Thanks for doing what you can. I am trying to find out how to set the part. Three screws hold it tight, but it rotates around and around and I just cant seem to get it right.
