The Buckshot Racing #77 Billet Carb Linkage Rebuild Kit is designed to rebuild and restore the throttle linkage on compatible Mercury WH and WMV carburetors used on 2.0L, 2.4L and 2.5L V6 two-stroke outboards.
Machined from 6061 aluminum and available in your choice of anodized blue or anodized red, this kit replaces several aging, discontinued, or difficult-to-find Mercury linkage components while giving the carburetor assembly a cleaner and more precise finished appearance.
These parts are intended for compatible Mercury Marine, Mariner, Quicksilver, and Mercury Racing V6 carbureted applications using the later horizontal-front WH or WMV linkage arrangement.
Replaces Hard-to-Find Mercury Linkage Components
Many original Mercury carburetor linkage parts are now No Longer Available (NLA) or increasingly difficult to source individually.
This Buckshot Racing #77 kit replaces or services applications associated with Mercury part numbers including 828277A1, 8252041, 8M0203923, 8M0203922, and 18178.
Because Mercury used several linkage arrangements over the years, always compare the original linkage and cam design before ordering.
Complete 5-Component Billet Linkage Kit
- 1 WH / WMV linkage rod
- 1 WH / WMV throttle lever
- 2 WH throttle carburetor levers
- 1 WH / WMV bolt & nut kit
The result is a complete billet replacement package for the primary linkage components used to synchronize throttle movement across the carburetor assembly.
Available in Anodized Blue or Red
The Buckshot Racing #77 linkage kit is offered in two anodized finishes:
Option 1 – Anodized Blue - Classic Buckshot Racing performance styling with added surface protection.
Option 2 – Anodized Red - A bold alternative for custom, restored, and race-prepared Mercury V6 powerheads.
Anodizing improves surface durability while helping protect the aluminum from oxidation and wear in the marine engine environment.
Mercury WH & WMV Applications
This kit is designed for compatible Mercury WH and WMV carburetor systems used on many 2.0L, 2.4L, and 2.5L V6 two-stroke outboards.
Typical applications include carbureted Mercury and Mariner performance engines using the correct horizontal-front intake and larger linkage cam.
Because many older Mercury V6 engines have been rebuilt or modified, fitment should be determined by the actual carburetor family, linkage style, cam size, and front-half configuration, not engine horsepower alone.
Important Fitment Notes
Depending on the application, these may include components associated with OEM part numbers 87604, 8M0203922, 67760, 67749, 67759, 67297, and 67748.
Your existing throttle roller must be reused.
- This kit does not fit the smaller early-style cam used on many 1976–1980 carburetor systems.
- The earlier small black cam may appear similar to the later version, but the later large cam is slightly larger and uses a different geometry.
- This kit also does not fit vertical front-half Mercury V6 engines and will not work with the original oil-injection linkage rod.
- These limitations are important when working with older 2.0L and 2.4L V6 powerheads where multiple carburetor and front-half configurations were used.
Made in the USA CNC Billet Construction
Buckshot Racing #77 machines these components in the USA from 6061 aluminum for consistent dimensions, clean linkage movement, and an improved surface finish.
CNC machining provides tighter repeatability than worn original cast or stamped linkage parts, making the kit well suited for performance rebuilds, restorations, and race-engine assemblies where accurate throttle synchronization matters.
For best results, inspect the carburetors, shafts, bushings, roller, cam, and remaining OEM linkage parts before assembly. Worn throttle shafts or damaged carburetor components should be corrected before final synchronization.
The Buckshot Racing #77 Billet Carb Linkage Rebuild Kit gives Mercury WH and WMV owners a durable replacement solution for restoring later horizontal-front 2.0L, 2.4L and 2.5L V6 carburetor linkage, with a choice of blue or red anodized finish.
