      Rebuilding the carb on a 1970 Evinrude 25hp. Model# 25002E. When I pulled the plug on the top of the carb I found no lead shot in the well. Looking over the carb kit it has no lead shot supplied with it. The parts break down on Marine engine does show a lead shot in the well.
      What is the purpose of the lead shot, and can I run without it safely? The motor was a runner. See diagram below. Part#2.

        The lead shot is not in the well. It is to plug a hole next to the well that was drilled in the carb body as passage ways to the well. Unless you removed the lead shot that is visible next to the well, you don’t need one.

          OK, I get it now. You really have to look closely at that diagram. The continuation of the line is a bit obscured.

          Thank you,
