For owners of Mercury V6 2-stroke outboard engines, sourcing OEM carburetor float 9267 has become increasingly difficult due to the discontinuation of WH-series carburetor floats by Mercury.
These floats play a critical role in fuel metering, ensuring optimal engine performance. Without a proper replacement, issues such as fuel starvation, flooding, and improper float height adjustments can arise, affecting engine reliability.
The WH carburetor series has been a key component originally found on Mercury 2.0L and 2.4L V6 outboards and is now commonly used on 2.5-liter engines for recreational, high-performance marine, outboard drag boat, and F1 race applications.
Some of the key Mercury float part numbers that have been discontinued include OEM# 6024, 7623, 9267, 7827, 1395-7623, 1395-9267, and Sierra 18-36956.
To address this issue, Buckshot Racing #77 now offers a direct replacement, which is manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring compatibility with WH-series carburetors without requiring modifications.
These replacement floats are designed to maintain consistent buoyancy and fuel metering, reducing the risk of engine hesitation, rough idling, or poor fuel economy. They are constructed with fuel-resistant materials that improve durability and longevity, particularly in high-performance and marine environments.
The replacement floats are engineered for use in Mercury Racing SST-120 and SST 140, and Mercury Marine 1750, Black Max, XR2, XR4, 135HP, 150HP, 175HP, 200HP, and 7-petal 2.4L 225HP 2-stroke V6 outboards, covering 2.0L, 2.4L, and even 2.5-liter engines. The design ensures proper function within the carburetor, maintaining the correct fuel level for efficient combustion and smooth throttle response.
These upgraded floats retain the same form and function as the original Mercury WH-series components, making them suitable for both routine maintenance and complete carburetor rebuilds. By offering a reliable alternative, Buckshot Racing #77 ensures that older Mercury V6 outboards can continue to operate efficiently despite the discontinuation of OEM 1395-9267 floats.
For those performing carburetor restorations, rebuilds, or fuel system maintenance, using a replacement float that matches OEM standards is essential for ensuring optimal fuel delivery and engine performance. With these replacements now available, boat owners can maintain their Mercury WH carburetors without compromising on quality or functionality.
