Fleetwin- i agree totally with you as to the reason OMC/BRP changed to the plastic top and bowl as the metal carbs worked just fine. A bit cheaper to produce ?? Fit more different motors, kinda a universal carb. In the carb kit, there are 4 different top cover gaskets. This same kit fit a late 90’s 8 hp.So i guess it is the standardize the parts thing that happened.
I like those all metal 70’s-80’s 9.9/15 carbs except for the little plastic needle bearing . Carefully digging that out of the low speed needle passage is a task.You got to be gentle so as to not gouge up the needle recess down in there.
Thanks for all your comments.
