"Hi,
I was got my Sierra rebuild kit and started on it today. I ran into a snag...........
1. Needle Valve assembly.
My carb had a small brass cylinder about 1/4" long in the center of the needle that the float arm rested on. The kit came with that and a spring and small brass insert. The instruction for the kit showed to use the spring and insert rather than the 1/4" cylinder. Does it matter which I use?
2. The kit came with a few pats not listed in the directions or drawings, some small metal balls and small gaskets. The only thing I did not take apart was the choke assembly, as this was working perfectly. I have a manual for the Mercruiser 3.7L (1987 165) and it also does not mention these parts. Any idea where these go? I know my problem was related to the float and dirty jets anyway.
P.S.
I have attachted the picture of the rebuild kit parts. The "metal ball" I am talking about is inside the top left gasket.
The 2 kinds of needle valve parts are shown inside the gasket in the top right
Thanks
