    Necks, Just for the record, my QD-16 (1955) parts catalog shows 2 packing washers for each needle valve but then, the carburettor was slightly modified between those 2 models and their needle valves bear different parts numbers. This just underlines your point that one should inquire about the manufacturer’s specs for a given model / year AND abide by them for satisfactory results. Regards !

    There are no old outboards, just machines so well built, they have outlasted their owners !
