950 (95,0) #1869776 - 2097279 is a 1966 6 cyl inline.<br />The best advise is to get a manual. See the top of this page.<br />Exploded views:<br /> http://www.mercruiserparts.com/select_docs3a.asp?doc_nbr=+39964+++ <br />There might be some useful info for your 950 here:<br /> http://www.maxrules.com/fixoldmercindex.html <br /><br />If you press the bulb when it bogs down and it picks up again it's time to change the fuel diaphrams.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />/Bear
