Re: How to find part numbers for kits?

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

quote wannabe outboard guy:

The sierra kit like others have said does not come with the new float. One other issue I’ve had with the 18-7043 kit is the packing washers. They are a little big and leak like crazy for a week or two. After that they seem to swell up from fuel soaking into them and are OK. This could be normal I guess, I’ll let FrankR or Mumbles comment on that but it makes it hard to dial in the carb at first because the same fuel leak is also a vacuum leak when running.

So get the OEM that does have the float 439071….

Which leads me to wonder, do y’all change the float every rebuild?
