merc or rochester carb on merc 140

[jimmytee]

How can I tell what carb is on my 1984 Merc 140? Is the accelerator pump included in the rebuild kit?

Mercarb has one idle/air adjustment screw at the base of the carb. Rochester has two. <br /><br />Accelerator pump in the kit depends on who you order the kit from.<br /><br /> web page

Mercarbs have a single idle mixture screw. Rochester has two.<br />Accelerator pump is a crap shoot with Mercruiser. some kits do some don't and they are all way overpriced for what you get.<br />Might try NAPA for either type carb. They carry kits that do contain the accelerator pump.
