What year is your 230? Post a pic for me would ya. I sold my 1990 after 10 seasons of abuse and it still looked like new. What an awsome quality boat huh? Give up ever trying to make it fast though,after 4 engine configurations,the last being a 540 incher,I could not get that sucker to run 70
Would run 68 in nasty water though

I think the webers of the early 90s are relabeled Carters. Just crank it for 3-4 seconds with the throttles closed. Pump them twice and they should start right up. Works for me every weekend.

Thanks Gary I'll give that a shot. She's fine if I start it once a week, but if she sitts it takes a bit. Are these a true Weber or were the built by Edelbrock??? They sure look a like.

If they're the carbs I'm thinking of, they're Carter original design from the 60s, or even earlier. Weber made the marine version in the early 90s (relabeled and painted them black). Now Edelbrock shined them up and is selling them as a performance carb.

Airpacker, Here's a photo. I'm working on trying to change the graphics. I had the checkered flag added last year but the guy
did it a little different than what I requested, so it's coming back off in a few weeks.

Budman, It's factory Mercury Quicksilver electric pump, part #805656-2 Then below that it has 122 2527A. I bought it in the late fall new from the dealer.List was $149.00 they gave a little off. I'd take $70.00 including shipping if interested.

I'm not all that familiar with the Weber carb, but if the flange is the same as a Holley, or there is an adapter (like there is for a Q-jet) you might consider switching.
