Does anyone know of a good shop to get a Merc 2 barrel carb rebuilt in a reasonable amount of time? I need to get mine overhauled since my engine change.
Since it's only a 2bbl why not do it yourself. May even to get the rebuild kit at NAPA too along with a few spray cans of carb cleaner. It's a simple carb to do... just take pictures of where everything goes.
Cableguy.. I got a kit off of Amazon.com for my 1990 Merc 2bbl. It cost $43 and was at my house in 2 days. Pretty easy to do and only took about 2.5 hours with cleaning the carb.
If your's is close to 1990 I can give you the part number.
Ive had good luck with Karb King Karbs karbking.com here in Pittsburgh. They did two Quadrajets off my houseboat, and did wonders for a Holley off my Glastron that was in a fire. I think the rebuilds were $100 plus parts, and they had em back to me in two days.
You could just call Speedway, too, but a new 2bbl is twice that price, and I'd rather support local businesses.
