    Dan,

    Not sure why there would be some wicks in some seirra points kits and not in others, that’s weird, especially if they are the same 18-5156 part number, but I believe you. Wish I had a spare new set in my possesion now, I could send you a pic of it including the wick. Mine are coming out of NW WA State,

    Just a month ago, I serviced an older Johnson 25hp, ordered a couple kits and both had wicks, so another wick in my stash.

    In fact about 4 months ago I sent 4-5 wicks to another member who was having trouble finding just the wick, which I assume they do not sell separately.

    On my own motors, if the wick is still structurally sound, I simply add a drop or two of motor oil and re-lubricate every year, does good for me.

    I think I am gonna go to OEM points tho. But it’s just so easy with seirra, order them in the am from NAPA or Cost Less Auto, and they are there for me in the afternoon, can’t beat that unless someone has them in stock already.
