Not completely sure about the post, probably not. For a carb schematic check out marinepartsexpress.com. They have all the mercruiser engine parts with diagrams listed by engine year, model, serial, etc.
Hope this helps

Re: 4.3 lx stalling problem
 

Let us know what you find out about the S-10 carb kit. I saw that they were really close when I rebuilt mine, too. I didn't have enough faith to go with it based on the drawings. I ended up buying the parts that I wanted, rather than a kit, from a Merc dealer and the price wasn't bad at all.

Will do Dredd. I went to Napa and had them cross reference a federal mogul carter # and they will have it in tomorrow. I will post the item# when I get it. It was only $41 with tax and the picture looked like it had the same gaskets so why not! I'll give it a shot. They said I could return it if its not the right one. I'll post back tomorrow with all the info.

Re: 4.3 lx stalling problem
 

ok, so I got the carb done and everything is running great. Only 1 problem. I was soaking some parts in some carb cleaner and when I went to empty the container I saw a ball bearing. I saw one in the kit but never saw one when I was taking it apart. Anyone know where it goes. It looks like it went below the accelerator pump but not sure...

Re: 4.3 lx stalling problem
 

Just wanted to post the part number for the rebuild kit if anyone is interested. I got it from napa and the part # is 2-5763a. the only thing that didnt fit was the manifold to carb gasket. Its only $5 at the local marina though. So for $40-$45 It worked out really well. You will have some extra parts just to let you know. Beats $140! Hope this helps, and thanks to Dan for all the help!
