Hello. I'm replacing the float bowls on my 1989 Johnson 88SPL because they were leaking (plastic warped). The new bowls are cast aluminum. The instructions say that I can't use my 26C intermediate orifices because they have 1/4-20 threads and the new aluminum part has #8-32 threads.

Problem is the new aluminum bowls passage for these two orifices did not come threaded! I can't find anything online about new orifices (omc part #333459). Do they expect the customer/dealer to thread these and does anyone know if I can do this and use my old orifices?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Just stuck in an 8-32 bolt and sure enough the thread is way down in the passage. But does anybody know the new OMC part number of the orifice? Thanks.
