Inside at the bottom of the float bowl on this 86 mercarb 2 barrell is some corrosion toward one side. It appears mostly minor except for a pinhole that actually goes all the way through. It's much deeper than the rest of the surface corrosion. Could you give me some ideas as to the best way to repair this? Thanks.

I don't think it can safely be repaired. I'm afraid it needs to be replaced.

Re: Carb Corrosion

The carb is on a 4 cylinder, 181 C.I. 140HP engine. Are there bolt on upgrade carbs? What's the best source for a replacement? Thanks
