1991 mariner 20hp. pulled the carb tonight and found that the main jet doesnt have a flat head fitting so i couldnt figure out how to get it out…i know its nasty in there bc the bowl was gross and so was the bowl screw!! it seems you can punch it from the top but i tried tapping with an alan wrench and it wouldnt budge…
ps this motor has the wierdest spark plugs i have ever seen, the end are just flat there is no hook that wraps around the end
if i cant get it out would it be better to take the boat to seels or just the carb!

the jet should screw out with a flat head screw driver
is there so much crud that its covering the slot?
also seen where a previous rebuilder snapped the slot off the top of the jet.
if you cant get it out, bring it by and let me see it, we may be able to drop it in the ultrasonic cleaner and clean it without taking it out
call me ahead of time so i can make sure the ul;trasonic cleaner is hot, and bring it by, hang out for 15 minutes, and we can clean it for you while you wait.
