Carb rebuilt

[steplift20]

I can’t find a quality or any mechanic that rebuilds carbs. I had one guy a real rip off said he rebuilt it but it didn’t work and charged me $500.00 it ran one day and had no5hing but problems. I did find a mechanic who would take them off and send them out. What’s the big problem with carbs? They say m6 engine is too old. But a carb is a carb. I would bet if spare was here he would have no problems rebuilding them and i5 would run perfectly. We need mechanics like Spareparts here in nj.

The new stuff is injected and all the new mechanics don't know how to work on them. The older mechanics are out fishin.

YouTube is very helpful in a situation like this. Also a service manual made by Mercury for your specific OB.

I’m pretty sure I could fix the carbs ,the problem I have is taking the off ( no problem) and reinstalling them. That’s the issue I think I would have.
Carbs look simple. Clean the passenges and new gaskets.

My son does some older car restoration (did an amazing build on an old 280Z). I learned from him to video the taking apart, along with some narrative - it’s surprising how good your memory can be about how to put something back together when you don’t have to remember how it came apart.
