Merc. used 800cfm Holley on the HP500.

is there any advantage to use 850 cfm electric choke holleys ??

No, bigger is not better, unless you plan to make upgrades in the future, electric chokes are not needed either.

The carb off an original HP 500 was number 9022. I have another one I bought that is also listed as a 800 cfm marine carb. I have one of each. Holley carbs are listed on this site.

A buddy just built 540's out of his carbed 500's. I'm sure he'd make you a good deal on his stock carb's since he had to go bigger. PM "runnin gun" here on OSO for the details and tell him I told you to contact him.

thanks..just pm'd him

i look on the holley site...the 9022 dont have electric choke as the originals do have electric chokes with 2 wires connecting to them...
i remember last year when i bought the carb for my other 35 fountain, it came in with the choke electric etc....plugged the wires and it was easy... i dont understand why the originals have the electric chokes and the ones holley sells dont..

is everyone sure the 9022 is what is needed ? and not the 850 cfm elec choke ?

You do not need a choke on a boat. get the 800cfm's or HP830's.
