[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 408292, member: 9937"] Just called Mercury customer service. Found out something interesting. The serial number on my motor comes back as a 25 hp motor, however, the carb on the motor is stamped "30". The "30" carbs are for 20 hp engines and the 31/31 and 31A carbs are for 25 ho engines. So effectively from what the Mercury support guy told me was I can pickup a 31, 31A or 32 carb and make my 20 into a 25. Also, he did inform me I can use the straight S/S needle in replacement of the rubber tipped S/S needle. Looks like I'm in business! Now just need to get the carb kit from Florida and rebuild.
