Cleaning a Mercury WME Carburetor.

- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- These WME carbs have been used on a TON of Mercury outboards over the years, they are typically numbered by the spec/size of jets, and the position on the engine. These are 45 carbs, and there are 3, so 45-1, 45-2 and 45-3 numbered from top to bottom on the 3 cylinder engine these came from.

To all people having bottom carb leak a just the float a little lower less gas . Make sure the Needle tip is not broken off ✌️
After watching this video Sir. I learned alot. My rebuild kit is a Sierra.
Do you adjust the vaccum vent ?
Great video, thanks for it. What's the name of the tool with the different size needles and where did you get yours? Thanks again.
I've heard them called torch tip cleaners, as well as carburetor jet cleaners. I got mine from amazon: amzn.to/3S4lT1Z (you can give some to your friends too because there is several)
Happy New Year!
Thank you good sir! Hope this year is a good one!
@@trythistv It's always good. Just got to make it good. And count our blessings. Have fun.
@@ebutuoyebutouy an excellent attitude to have. I know I've got big plans to make this year special, I just hope I can accomplish all my goals!
Hi, great video does the jet on the bowl also has a hole?
I have a 100hp mercury from 1992. The 3rd carb from the bottom is leaking a lot of fuel from the hole you are spraying at 4.06. Is that hole a overflow? If it is, then propably the floats needle is stuck because of gunk? I dont think the level is set incorrectly because that is the only carb that leaks.
Its been a minute since I've had a WME apart, but I do believe that is the overflow as it is connected directly to the float bowl.
The bottom carb is the most likely to collect debris and water. I just rebuilt a different set of carbs (tillotson maybe?) and the bottom carb had a rust stain at the bottom of the bowl and the float was stuck.
I'd bet if you pop it apart you will find something either rusted or some gunk that has been assisted by gravity and jammed up the works in that carb.
@@trythistv thats what i thought that the float needle valve is stuck. I know there is gunk because on the bottom of the water seperator was alot of gunk 😁
Thanks for the great video. How do I know what rebuild kit to get. My carb says WME but no number after. It says 3301-9013c on it. It’s from a 2000 Mercury 90elpto. The jet is a .060. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Are all the WME gaskets the same? Thanks
The gaskets should be the same across all the wme carbs, the changes were jetting and float height type stuff if I'm thinking correctly.
So you'll be in good shape with the kit from the description of the video: amzn.to/3vsogjt
Or this Sierra branded kit: amzn.to/3Spx30y
Keep in mind if you've got more than one carb you'll need a kit for each of them.
Thanks so much for the quick response. I really appreciate the help
You bet! Happy to help out.
When or how do you know to replace Reed valves and Reed blocks? Any help would be appreciated ed. Ty
If any are chipped or damaged they need to be replaced, or if they are worn to the point they hang open slightly it may degrade performance slightly.
It also depends, some motors came with steel reeds which won't chip, but can cause big problems if they break off and get jammed in a cylinder, but they also last for a very long time.
Other engines came with fiberglass, plastic, or carbon fiber type material reed valves, which may need to be replaced more often than the steel ones but can offer some advantages in the performance and idle quality.

How can I help?
