Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhance Engine Performance with Sierra 18-7746 Carburetor Kit by Terrence Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This kit saved my boating season (and $550.00)

Kit, some YouTube searches and some common sense saved my boating season. My old 1971 boat ran terribly. After replacing the spark plugs, wires, contacts and capacitor, the engine still crushed, was missing, had a "flat spot" and did not develop full power. I went to an auto parts store and bought a liter bucket of carb cleaner (dip, not carb cleaner), carefully disassembled the carburetor, cleaned it, bled the passages, reassembled it with new parts from the kit and the engine ran great. Use your smartphone/camera and take a picture of the carburetor connection before removing the carburetor from the engine. You will save yourself some trouble if you reattach the carburetor to the engine. "Borrow" a cookie cutter and cupcake tin from the kitchen. The cutter holds small parts during disassembly/assembly. A cake pan is used to separate components when disassembling different parts of a carburetor. Also, there are many more gaskets and seals than you need as the kit covers a wide variety of carburetors. When disassembling the carburetor, compare the old gasket/gasket to those that came with the kit. Do not overtighten the fasteners during assembly.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
