I have a 1987 evinrude 15hp E15RLCUD I wanna rebuild the carbs and fuel pump but when i went to order parts i found it has two different carb options, early or late production. How do you differentiate between them ?

sierra lists that as only compatible with early production carb kit 039453 and not 0398508 the late model kit ? do you know how to determine which carb ive got. I read something about a flat top and round top but it wasnt detailed enough for me to understand.

actually the d does not tell you which carb you have, they used two different carbs in the same year model

ok thanks ill take your word on it but i would still like to know how to determine which carb i have because i need to order a fuel pump kit and that is dependent on early or late model as well. If i figure out which carb i have i can order all the parts i need. Thanks

If you remove your carb. there will probably be a number stamped on the bottom of the bowl (or somewhere) that will tell you what you need to know. Best of luck. Rick.
