Marine Carburetor Feature: TKS (Turn Key Start) System
The TKS (Turn Key Start) carburetor, designed for Mercury MerCruiser engines, features an advanced electric enrichment system that replaces the traditional manual choke. This innovation simplifies cold starts, ensuring smooth and reliable ignition.
Key Features of the TKS Carburetor:
Turn Key Start (TKS) Technology: Mercury's patented system automatically enriches the fuel mixture for effortless cold starts.
Electric Enrichment System: An electric solenoid provides the necessary fuel enrichment, eliminating the need for a choke.
No Manual Choke Lever: Unlike traditional carburetors, the TKS system operates without a choke lever, reducing complexity.
Common in Older MerCruiser Engines: Found in models like the 3.0L, 3.0LX, 4.3L MerCruiser, the TKS system enhances starting reliability in carbureted engines.
