Help again, please. I just installed my new float bowl on my carburator for my 1991 6 hp Evinrude E6REIA motor. Well, the new float bowl came with a hole for a drain plug in the bowl and my old one did not have one. Therefore, I did not order a new drain plug (screw) for the new bowl. I do not even see the plug mentioned on any pictures or breakdowns of my carb.
I plan on just going to my local hardware store and getting a screw to plug the threaded hole. The shoulder bolt from my choke linkage fits the hole perfect, so I can match the correct sized threads with no problem. MY QUESTIONS: How short does the screw need to be so it does not interfere with the float inside the bowl? Do I need to install a flat fiber washer, rubber washer or 'O' ring on this drain plug?? Thanks!
