3.7 liter mercruiser w/ 2 barrel carb
Coming in to Rudee Inlet yesterday [after being 12 miles out at the light tower] the boat started kicking and shutting down, then revving to high RPM's and shutting down. After letting the wind and current get us to a slip at a marina among some major sportfishers, we discovered that a pivot screw in the throttle linkage had loosened and fallen out. Fortunately, it was wedged in the carb base.
Now I need a picture of the linkage close up so I can tell how the cam that pivots around the screw goes back in.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
