'99 - '97 Merc. 50hp. compatabily

[oceanbound]

--------2 part question---------
*1, my middle carburator's, center brass pick up tube, from the bottom of the bowl to the top center venturi, is broken, is it replaceable? there is no part# for it and I'm thinking no?
*2, is a ,99's carb's. compatabile w/a '97 50hp. Merc. 50hp. 3 cyl carburator compatable with a '99 50hp. 3cyl.
(yes I am aware there is a top, middle, and bottom carb.)
Thanks,
Roy in S. F.L.

What is your serial number for you motor? Some of those tubes are replaceable, others are not.

That part is not available.
97 and 99 do show different part numbers for center carb, not sure if will work.

serial # is everything

Thank you, now I get it, the serial number of the motor means everything.
