Carb Kits

[marvk]

Where do I find carb kits on MarineEngine.com? I can order all the parts individually, but can’t find the kits? Specifically, a 1955 7.5hp Evinrude Fleetwin, and a 1957 5.5hp Fisherman. Probably both the same?

I’d like to know this as well.

Since a carb kit was not made at that time you have to have a copy of OMC/BRP Accessory manual or Sierra parts book to look them up by today’s numbers. That basic carb has been in production for so long it takes the #439071 BRP kit. I do not have the Sierra number in front of me at this moment. Different kits come with different parts. The BRP Kit comes with every part you will need for all of the renditions of this carb. Sierra’s kit on the other hand does not come with a float for example. I prefer to have everything I need in one kit. You can keep the extra stuff for other uses. Just my two cents.
Sierra #18-7043

There’s listings online for the carb kits. You just have to dig a little bit to find them. 😉

Since I’m staying up late tonight, thought I would do a little digging if anyone is interested.
3hp – 1968 20hp – same kit #439071 or Sierra #18-7043. Other older numbers you may find referred to are #398532 & #382049. They all SS to the latest number above. The Sierra kit comes with out float!
Exception! 9.5hp is #382048. No Sierra found!
Early 9.9/15hp ’74-’76 #398453. Sierra #18-7223 no float
1969 18-25hp to 3 cyl. 75hp #396701. Sierra #18-7222 (with float) #18-7042 (without float).
1969 V-4 up and 1976 up V-6 cross flow engines two barrels (not loopers). #439076. Sierra #18-7046 (no float).

These are just some of the more common carb kits that fit many engines over many years. If there is some other engine you need, don’t hesitate to ask.
BTW: In some cases the BRP Kit is cheaper than the Sierra kit without the float. Always check with MarineEngine.com to see what they have on sale. If you use one of the OEM kits Imthink you will like them. Better yet support your local dealer!

Thanks T2, #439071 is the correct part# for the kit including the float. I can find kits on other sites easy enough, but I do most of my online ordering from MarineEngine. They seem to have almost everything I need.

Another good source is vintageoutboard.com

For common stuff like these kits, give Amazon a try. Usually a good price and sometimes free shipping

If a carb/fuel pump/water pump kit is available, there will be a box over in the corner of the parts diagram. Look up a newer motor and you’ll see it.

Sometimes if you look at one of the basic parts (like the bowl gasket) they will mention it is found in carb kit #********? Put that number in the box up top at ME and it will super to latest part number. They usually show Sierra kit if you prefer that.
Same thing for water pump kits, etc. The really old motors are like us old fellows. Always one part at a time, but that is the most expensive way to do a complete repair. Kits are the cheapest way to get all of the parts you need for the best price.
