Hello ,i'm new to the forum,I have a 1973 18ft Ranger ,im not sure the yr model of the motor,its a 115 hp v6 #4256622,the cover shows 115hp,but when i search for carb kit,it comes back as a 150hp,the carb # are wmk-19-1 2 and 3.<br />I am confused of wich size hp i have and model,any help would be great in this matter.<br /> Thanks alote

Re: year model

Could be either from that number. Gonna have to assume it's a 115..<br /><br />1150 (115,0) 4112635 - 4310784 1975 6 cyl inline <br /><br />1500 (150,0) 4121435 - 4319879 1975 6 cyl inline

Re: year model

sry for the confusion,it is a inline 6,i need the carb kits for it,and i am unsure the yr model,the carb # match a 150 hp merc i think.the #'s are wmk-19-1,19-2 and 19-3. Its been sitting for about two yrs,it will run as long as the manuel choke on th etop of the motor is up,but as soon as you push it down ,it stops running.<br />Seems like floats are stuck to me,anyone have an idea or comments.<br /><br /> Thanks<br /> mph

Re: year model

Sounds like the jets are clogged and possibly the float needle valve is sticking, as you say. You do need to at least disassemble and clean the carbs out good with carb cleaner and compressed air. You may get by without the kits if you're careful not to tear any gaskets when you take them apart. I've done it a couple of times with success. But it's always good to have the kits. Ya never know.. Plus, it will have new needles and all the parts you will need to make it like new. If you look at this site that has your kits, you will notice that the 115 and 150 are the same part number. So it will work on either. Part # 7021 <br /><br /> web page
