Reply To: “BRAND NEW” 1986 Mercury 4 HP ?????

[Harmattan1]

Sorry for the confusion., I am rebuilding a Johnson 5.5 HP 1955 CD 12. My carb needed the section replaced that holds the float in place. The problem is the replacement carb half I received has a round piece in the tube area inside where the butterfly valves are at. My carb has an emulsion brass tube screws into the carb in the center below where my float sits. It goes down into that area and into the tube where the butterflies are at. The emulsion tube won’t go all the way down into the carb half sent to me because there is a round tubular piece that has 3 small straight tubes that go towards the center of itself where they meet another circular tube. I suspect it is some kind of emulsion piece itself, I’m not sure. All I know is that my carb did not have that piece and my emulsion brass tube will not go into the carb body because it is blocked by this circular tube piece. I will try to take pics and post but someone may recognize from my description. I hope that helps clarify.
