Reply To: Mercury KF-7 “White Lighting”

Looks great, Great paint job! Nice day for a cruise. I love the remote level action, are you doing that from the tiller or from a control box? I haven’t seen that yet. That’s what the eye hole on the tiller arm is for. So much to learn.
so out last night on the river running nice….until. I look back I see the high speed adjustment is turning freely back and forth, full revolutions. I haven’t dared mess with the carb adjustments it seemed fine. I try and go with the, ain’t broke don’t break it. So got it home holding it in place. The  lock nut seems tight, how hard can I lean on it? Is this a packing nut, and the packing is gone? I now hav two Kf7 the carbs have the same number. Switch the whole carburetor or just the high seed adjustment stuff?
Always thanks for taking the time to help.
