I have a question for “Fleetwin”. Back in the day when I was working on lawn & garden equip, on Lawn Boy mowers, when you had to replace the reeds, their were 2 sides on reeds, one side was smooth, the other side was rough, which you felt with your finger, easy to mix up, they would fit either way. They were made by OMC. Just wondering if all OMC outboards were the same way (Rough side-Smooth side), also can’t these carbs be checked with a vacuum type tool after a fresh rebuild to see if you have any leaks, before it’s installed on engine. I seem to remember that was a step that was done with carbs in repairing Toro’s and weedwhips. Gene.
