Hi all I have removed the carb from a 6hp Johnson (J6BACTA) ready to fit a carb kit thats on it's way but I cant remove the emulsifying tube as it looks damaged and won't move so 1: how do i remove it and 2: I have a old 7.5 carb could I remove the emulsifying tube from this to replace the 6hp one thats chewed up.
and any links to the rebuild would be much appreciated,
Thanks

Don't know. We didn't have a 6hp here in USA that year, so I can't look it up. You are speaking of the main nozzle? It may be that it doesn't come out. Sorry, I can't give an intelligent answer. Perhaps somebody in your part of the world will see this and know more.

Those tubes are part of the upper carb body and non replaceable. If you can find them in a parts book, please let us know.

ok so someone has tried to remove the one in mine and chewed it up so could I therefor use the 7.5 carb body and remove all parts from the 6hp and put them on the 7.5hp its the same shape and size but the throat on the 7.5hp seems wider

Why not contact one of the UK parts suppliers, telling them the model number.

Oakley marine aka Outboards direct in Brighton :: OutBoards Direct :: are very helpful and will be familiar with the Belgium made models

Wills Marine in Kingsbridge, Devon are also good for mail order spares. Willsmarine

The YBW.com forums are also good for help and advice in the UK http://www.ybw.com/forums/index.php
