Carb Kit for a marine carb.
Cliff Ruggles:
We include slotted idle mixture screws in our kits for those, plus upgraded Viton needle/seat assemblies, ethanol compatable upgraded complete accellerator pump assembly, new float, gaskets, seals, small parts, complete fastener set, etc.....Cliff

Thanks for the reply Cliff. I had the guy order the kit for me and it is on its way.
He said he was impressed with the help he got on the phone. ;D Very knowledgable and helpful.
I will be ordering a throttle shaft repair kit. [bushing kit]
Cliff Ruggles:
We appreciate the order. The bushing kits are in stock. We actually test each kit to install bushings in carburetors built here before we package them up to sell them. The bits are custom made for us, and self guiding. My wife does most of that work here, which tells you how easy it is!......Cliff
omaha:
A wife that helps rebuild carburetors! I am very impressed . {got an extra one ?} :D

I was wondering about the original gasket between the main body and the base plate of this mar. carb.
It is the same in all respects except the area between the prim. and sec. hole openings. In that area there is a 'slot' cut between the two holes. (left and right side). It is about 1/4 to 5/16 inch wide. The only reason I can think of for this design would be this; Because there is no POE for the secondaries, the slot is used to get them "online" without any hesitation or bog in lieu of an enrichment device. The slot would transfer the air-fuel mixture from the primary side to the secondary side, through the slot, during the initial opening of the secondary throttle plates. While the secondaries are closed, the slot would have little to no effect because there would be no vacuum to pull the mixture through the slot.
Does this sound correct? If so should I assume I should modify the replacement gasket to match the original as it does not have the slots?
Any comments would be welcomed!! [anybody else seen this?] :-\
