Re: fuel pump/carb problem ?
which needle and seat did you use, did you use the spring loaded or the weighted, I use the weighted and set teh level a little lower than spec.. I also like to use a thick base gasket to prevent fuel boil in the bowl> mercury even offered a water cooled fuel line for these engines to prevent perculation in the fuel bowl. If you ever happen to run across a rochester 2bbl carb from an 888, or 898 Mercruiser, grab it, it will fix all your carb problems for idle quaality, perculation, vapor lock, and even give it a little hp boost, it takes a little modification though
