I have the engine running pretty good as of today. It is running very
rich. Keep me in mind if anyone finds a 2bbl carb for the chevy gm250
motor (1975).

My next question is the up and down relay are not responding after the
storm (along with the starter relay). The outdrive is up. The relay
clicks only when the buttons are pushed to raise the unit. The buttons
for lowering do nothing. No click or anything. My wires look fine and
they are snug an all the connections. The mercruiser manual I have
shows two 20 amp glass fuses and one larger relay type fuse. I find
none of these in the harness by the engine. The one under the dash
board at the button controls is also not present.

How can i get the outdrive down to take the boat out of the water ? It
is about a 15 minute ride to the boat ramp. The boat is easier to
control with the engine down.

Thanks in advance again.

Once upon a time I had issues with the trim, sorry memory is foggy but there
are a couple of solenoids on the pump unit. You can jump them to figure out
which one is up and which one is down. Once figure out where your problem
is, TAP not beat, the snot out of it with a hammer, you may loosen up the
solenoid.
