2BBL Mercarb Advice Needed

[buzz]

I have a 2000 Sea Pro 190WA with carburetor issues, so the simplest thing would be to rebuild the carb. I've done this before on automobile engines with great results. However, this time I ran into 2 problems.

1) I've misplaced the fuel inlet fitting
2) The power valve is stuck in the float bowl

I thought about getting a used non-working carb for parts but most go for around $120. Then I saw this listing on eBay...

New Mercruiser 2BBL MerCarb Carburetor 4.3/V6 3310-864941A01 Carb Not Rebuilt - $249.99

That seems awfully cheap for a new (not rebuilt) carb. I know it says its for a 4.3 V6, and I have a 3.0 4cyl. But the carb looks identical to mine.

What do you all think?

Although it may look the same, it is most likely jetted higher with a larger accelerator pump, and may even have a larger diameter throttle body for the larger displacement engine. I'd look for the correct part number from merc and make sure you get the right one.

Thanks freezerfiller.
Not what I wanted to hear, but better than making a $250 mistake.

Thanks again for the insight.
