good morning all, it's finally starting to warm up here, but looks like 3-4 weeks still for the ice to clear.
anyway we have torn the 30 Johnson down, doing all the normal maintenance when you buy a used motor, like impeller carb kit etc. when I removed the carb I found this spring or tool looking thing laying in the bottom of the lower engine casing. anyone know what it is.

if it is it's the strangest place to find one, anyone else got any ideas?

It looks like a safety pin for something. Never seen anything like that on an outboard, especially with the plastic piece attached.

well I guess I'll through it into the tool box with the other leftover parts and let the grand kids figure what to do with it 20 years from now:rolleyes:
