Looking for a OMC Part # 0437236, can not find anywhere through distributors or Johnson/Evinrude website, it comes up unavailable or obsolete. Does anyone know a OMC dealer/repair facility that might have one on there shelves?

Any primer solenoid will work. You have many many years to choose from.

Hey, why didn't you ever post back the compression numbers we asked for?

My brother was supposed to post for me, unaware that this was'nt done. Been busy.
You say many primers will work, but will they hook up to hoses properly?

Yes. All primer solenoid tops (valve structure) are the same. One inlet, two outlets.
Now there are SOME differences....like the presence of the schrader valve for fogging.
And the wire connections.

But they are all basically the same, and any one will work in the place of any other.
If you find one with the wrong connections, cut em off and put on something that will substitute.
Two pin Deutsch connectors are about 6 bucks for both the plug and socket.

From here: http://www.wirecare.com/deutsch-connectors.asp no minimum purchase.

If you pull a used primer solenoid from a junk motor salvage yard, I bet any primer solenoid close to around the same year as your motor will work. Electrical connections and all.
The only difference I have EVER seen in the electrical connection is older styles have a ring terminal for the purple/white wire and newer ones have the bullet inline connector style.

Look at the ones on EBay....pics will confirm the right electrical connections.

I got 34 hits for primer solenoids on EBay. New ones, used ones.....

Yes the electrical connections are identical. Can I still use with one of the outlet gone?

You say my valve top will hook right up?

Yes. if your valve top is not broken, remove those 4 slotted screws, and swap them.

There is a spring in there, and you have to be careful to align a little slot...but it is easy.

I would definitely haggle the price down at least to half of what they want because it is broken. The kit for fixing this is about 20 bucks, if i remember right....

There are plenty of others tho...EBay it.....there are even new ones.
