Sierra 18-7046 carb kit question

[98SkeeterSS90]

Ok I'm installing the carb kit now on a 1978 85hp Johnson. I think it came with a couple extra parts. I'm to the point of installing the seat for the needle that attaches to float. The brass seat I removed from carb seemed to have a clear plastic ring under it, this kit has what looks like a rubber o ring that will go over it and it also has a red washer. Which one do I use??? The instructions don't specify. The seat and needle were in a separate bag than all the washers/orings

No Title

The kit is supposed to include a needle and seat 18-7093 in the first picture. And it looks like there is a gasket with the needle and seat.

Ok the bag that has the needle and brass part does not have an o-ring in there with it. Will it be ok if I use the extra red washer that seems to fit it perfectly? The old one had a clear o-ring.

Upon closer look at that kit it looks like both my kits DID NOT include that clear/white o-ring that goes under the brass part the needle goes in. I ordered from iboat so you think they will send me one?? VERY DISSAPOINTING

I've never seen one that didn't have a thin, clear ring for the seat. That said, I've also never seen one that came with a red ring large enough for the seat either. If it fits, you must... Well, just use the red one.

and....use the little clip. Save the old one as well, if you have one, as they have a way of disappearing on the shop floor.

Yes, the little clip opens the valve should the rubber (Viton) tip stick in the seat.

I used the red one on each carb. Got it all back together now just need to eat supper and I'll give a report back if she runs longer than 10-20 seconds! Thank y'all for all the help

Ok she stars a LOT easier and better but seems to be idling really high. Spits and sputters a little bit. The rpm gauge is not hooked up I gotta trace down that problem but do any of you know how to adjust the idle rpm?

 

[98SkeeterSS90]

Idle seems to be even higher rpm this second time I cranked it and I couldn't get it to cut off with the key had to pull the kill switch to cut the motor off. This guy screwed me royally. Putting new switch in now

 

[98SkeeterSS90]

Just installed new ignition switch/key. Still won't shut off if I turn the key off and pull it out. Only cuts off if I pull the kill switch. The idle is scary high on this thing. Any ideas? Need some help desperately on this thing

I'm going to start a new thread for more attention regarding not shutting off
