1988 Johnson carburetor

[Bpgrin]

OK, my boat has set up a while. We've worked to get everything back in top notch condition...new hoses included. BUT a question has come up about the carburetor. It's been thoroughly cleaned. But the guys have asked me what attaches to the front of the carburetor? It's wide open. Does something screw onto the front of it? All the diagrams I see, show exactly what mine looks like. Help if you can.

Ok so what motor is this that you speak about.

 

[Bpgrin]

I'm sorry. It's a 1988 Johnson outboard.

Horsepower? Best to give the model number off the transom bracket.

I will learn. So sorry. 1988 Johnson30 HP outboard. I tried to upload pictures, but can't figure out how.

Are you referring to an Air Silencer? A 1988 30hp doesn't have one. Earlier engines did.

No Title

I don't know.

That is correct like that nothing on there.

 

[Bpgrin]

Ok. Thank you. I saw several diagrams and they looked the same as mine...but a couple of guys are certain something should be attached.

I would guess they saw older versions of your engine lineage. Engine manufacturers make all sorts of changes every model year, sometimes during a model year. That is way a Model Number is so important.
