    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    I have had some good luck with OE and After market parts. Sometimes there is no choice. I like the term Chinese junk when a lot of parts do come from over seas and Mexico. Companies are more concern about the mighty dollar so they outsource to cheaper labor. OE for Dodge you will often see made...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    I did find some very odd old parts in stock about 15yrs ago at a NAPA on a small Mercury motor. They were bought out so they are not the same company anymore. I'm going to set things back till this heat wave is done. I have a lot to catch up on. I still have to drop the lower unit and do a...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    Yes, it's called the nipple fuel and oil. I did the same and just made my own as well. It broke on me twice but was lucky to find a replacement but then it broke again so I just built one of my own. Some parts cab be often fabricated to work. Been there and done that myself. I have heard a few...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    Small things yes. I just bought the impeller kit as well. The fuel plastic part for fuel and oil is no longer available ( Can't think of the correct name) but that can be done without having that part. I had to due to it broke on the oil side feed. Not bad talking anything. I love the motor and...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    I agree. I bought this motor and it was rebuilt, tank tested. It was a coast guard motor that still looked brand new the day I bought it. I have really good luck with it. The only break down was a broken fuel side of plastic part that supplied both oil and gas to the motor. I considered that...

    4 Stroke. lol I am trying to do research on them ahead of time before it comes the time to re-power. That would by my next question since I would prefer to be able to do my own maintenance.

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    I have actually built two so far and everything went together with no issues. The picture don't show the product very good but they are like the factory type. I still to this day keep those parts in a box to compare. Brass fitting went in with no problems. Also I have rebuilt these crabs a...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    I did get another kit off eBay. Yeah, I am going to hear about it I'm sure but to be honest. It's just like the oe type. I understand they come with parts you will and will not use but I must say there are a lot of them I don't see using. The hoses and filters was a little confusing since I have...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    Well you guys won.lol. I did my first carb cleaning and after installing the first new kit. I didn't like how they felt or fit so I ordered a new set that have the lather style hard feel that I have used in the past. The funny thing is they were about maybe another $15.00 in cost. I have used...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    I'm not sure where those reviews are from but where I bought these has really good reviews. All one can do is see if they work or not. I'm just trying to get it up and running for now. if they are bad, then lesson learned and move forward but to be honest I did this before with ebay kits and...

    Carburetor Rebuild Kit

    Thank you. Yeah it can be a hit and miss but after I took them out and looked at them, I must say they are as good or better then what I got from Crowley Marine back in the day. Once I get it back up running, I will post progress. My camera pictures don't post due to size of file. I'm not sure...

I have a 1992 Evinrude 150hp Elence. It has sat sometime so doing a carb rebuild, impeller replacement. Time get her up...

    I have a two part question Ignition switch and a part

    Thank you. I thought it did. one less thing to worry about when she gets back up and running. I am going to replace impeller and rebuild carbs once I get the ignition wired. It's been hot as heck with rain showers here in bio polar Florida. lol. Trying to find my Seleno ( I'm sure spelled wrong)...

    I have a two part question Ignition switch and a part

    Ok, I found that page but nothing is listed there that was temp related but from what I have found leads me to think it has to do temp but not a 100% sure. All I know is that part of it slid back in and I can't remove it but since where it is, I am guessing once started, the pressure will push...

    I have a two part question Ignition switch and a part

    I will but I found a video on same motor just it a 1996 and from what I understood that may have something to do with sending temps to a gauge if the boat has one so that may explain why it was never hooked up. I have a 1976 Mako and it has like a dummy light you would find in a vehicle. I am...
