In our continuing effort to provide quality products and information to the Marine market, Champion Parts, Inc. is voluntarily issuing the following Recall of approximately 1,170 MC60 carburetors in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard.
PRODUCT: Champion Parts, Inc. is voluntarily recalling about 1,170 carburetors, sold as CPI Marine Part# MC60.
PROBLEM: The problem may exist that the carburetor may have a fuel/fume pipe that is not drilled through to the bore/throat. A fuel/fume line on a marine designed mechanical fuel pump provides a safe fuel exit to the carburetor in the unlikely event of a rupture of the fuel pump’s double diaphragm.
If the recall condition exists and the fuel pump’s double diaphragm were to experience a catastrophic rupture, excess fuel could spill into the engine compartment and a fire could result and could cause serious personal injury and/or death.
Champion Parts, Inc. is not aware of any injuries or incidents involving these carburetors.
WHERE THIS WAS USED: Champion Carburetor# MC60 is a replacement part fitting:
- 1987-95 MerCruiser 200 5.0L SN# 0B525982 - 0F600999 engines
- 1996-97 MerCruiser 5.7L SN# 0F601000 - 0K999999 engines
- 1996-97 MerCruiser Ski 5.7L SN# 0F775200 - 0K999999 engines
WHAT TO DO: Only MC60 carburetors are involved in this recall. Consumers possessing the recalled carburetor are to stop using it immediately, and bring it to a service center to perform an inspection of the carburetor to determine if the recall condition exists.
WHERE TO LOOK: To determine if your carburetor is part of this recall, look for part number MC60 on the product label. If your carburetor has a fuel/fume line attached to the carburetor, it will be necessary to perform the following inspection. With the engine off and the battery disconnected, remove the flame arrestor and inspect the carburetor. Carburetors with a square notch must have a hole drilled through to the bore/throat for the fuel/fume line (see picture).
If your MC60 Carburetor is part of the recall (without the hole drilled through) contact the service center or retailer where purchased for repair or free replacement. Call Champion Technical Service Department for warranty details.
