Bass Turd Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I have an 80's Mercury 50 that needs the carbs serviced. The serial number is 6307680. The boat runs great but fuel is leaking from them so I believe I just need the gasket set. The carb number is 1364-4929. There are two part numbers that come up. 1399-5198 and 1399-5199. Which would be best to get? The 5199 looks like a complete rebuild kit and 5198 is just gaskets. Because the motor is older I am having trouble finding someone willing to work on it in my area. I have a knowledgeable person that I can pay to do it with me but I'd like to find all the information I can. Anyone who has done this before- is there a guide, tutorial or book that would help me? Thanks in advance for all your help. -Danny Quote

Ski213 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I would try to find a service manual for the outboard. They can be a pretty indispensable resource. Where specifically is the fuel leaking from? Quote

Where specifically is the fuel leaking from? Both carbs are leaking at the seal between the bowl and the main body. I had them rebuilt two years ago. I only have ethanol fuel available to me and even though I run stabilizer 100% of the time I suspect it has affected the seals. I have the Clymer manual for my year on order. I will look at iboats. Thanks everyone. Quote
