joe reeves i need your help

[gregs]

you definetly know you stuff. i tried what you suggested but got nowhere i've lost the plastic washer from under the brass fitting where the needle thats attached to the float. i need to know if i got the rebuild kit would there be instructions with it. my most concern is probably the s/s valve a guy told me about 30 turns and it will come out. im guessing theres probably some rubber o-rings on this. the other concern is the little round silver plate that has to be removed, i understand this comes oval shaped. i am just concerned that if i get this kit and i mess it up i'll still be in the same boat.

Re: joe reeves i need your help

Greg.... I have many of those nylon washers that you lost. The s/s needle valve does simply screw out of the carb and there are no "O" Rings involved. At the face of the carburetor there should be what is called a "RED" nylon bearing that the s/s needle valve screws through. It's a tight fit and keeps the valve from turning due to viberation.<br /><br />I assume that when uou speak of the round silver plate, you're speaking of the various core plugs. It's very unlikely that you'll need to dismantle the carb to that point.<br /><br />The carburetor kit OMC part number is #398453 and list for approximately $18 (possibly slightly less). If you can't locate one, and want one, I have a few left in stock. You could have one for $12 which would include shipping. You may be better off to let a pro handle that job, but the offer is there should you decide to go that route. ReevesJ32@aol.com
