Sierra/Mallory/OMC repair kit

[KCShorty]

Looking to purchase a carb rebuild/repair kit for my 1982 Johnson 25hp tiller. I see the following kits available.

Sierra 18-7222 for $17
Mallory 9-37107 for $19
OMC 0390134 for $19

Is there any big difference between the different kit? Is one better than the other? Any certain one to avoid?

Thanks for the help!

Im still a newbie with engines but i don't think theres much of a difference from my pov. i just put a sierra impeller on mine and thats what the marina uses.

The factory kits include the float and they use a better gasket material than Sierra kits do. Can't comment on Mallory.

Thanks for the info. I will look into the OMC kit since it is only $2 more than the Sierra.
