An excellent video, I used it for my first attempt at a rebuild but a significant improvement for this process is after the carb is mounted to the block but BEFORE bolts are tightened (just catch some of the threads on the studs) and all other steps you mention are completed, install the idle/choke assembly. This made the installation very much easier as compared to what was demonstrated in your video.

Hi Sterling, Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful👍 Referencing 10:00 on the video: I discovered an improved way to place the thin gasket portion when assembling the fuel pump. I placed it onto the outer housing / cover, dropped the bolts through and then easily placed it atop the rest of the assy. The hanging screws automatically align the gasket perfectly and it went right together.

Great video. You explained it well. That looks like a good quality carb kit. I bought a carb kit from an E-Bay vender for my 1999 Mech 25. It has a very similar carb with slight differences from this one. Taking in the account that these kits will fit many different carb applications you need to check the fit of the gasket against the OEM gaskets. Air flow is important. In my kit the gasket between the carb and engine had to be re-cut to add the circular cuts in the sides of the big opening like the OEM gasket has. On the same gasket the small hole that connects the engine vacuum to the fuel pump was placed wrong. It looks like a slot opening on the after market gasket. I had to take a paper punch and make the slot longer to align the gasket up to the opening in the carb so the vacuum flows unrestricted.

I very nice video, considering I'm rebuilding the same carb. One question.... what energizes the fuel pump? On many fuel pumps I see at least two ports, in and out. On this fuel pump there are no ports. Is the pump operated by the suction in the carb itself, and all fuel connections are located within the carb? Also, I had a leak in the small diameter hose at the bottom of the carb. What is that hose for, overflow gases?

I just rebuilt my 8 hp merc after watching your video. When i assembled the fuel pump gaskets together just as you did and reinstalled the carb back onto the motor, squeezed the fuel bulb i had gas pouring out of the fuel pump. So i took it all apart and used the other gasket that was a one piece with the rubber bladder. Put it all back together and now it doesn't leak, but having a really hard time getting it started. Do you have video of how to set up the linkage on these motors.
