Hi,
Latest project is a 1979 Evinrude 35HP long shaft. Model 35903A, serial number E002229. Motor has not been run in years and the carb is clogged with peanut-butter-thick goo. It is a manual start, and all the diagrams of the carb that I can find appear to show an electric choke. For purposes of cleaning and rebuilding the carb, can I just ignore that part? The bowl in all the on-line diagrams is different because it has a bracket molded in to mount the electric choke, and appears to have a different main jet assembly than the carb I'm looking at. Will a basic carb kit fit both the electric and manual start motors?
Thanks,
Lewis

To answer my own question, the answer is yes. In this application there are more parts than absolutely necessary, but the gaskets and welch plugs fit my carb perfectly. Engine starts and seems to run pretty well. Not pumping water, though, so I only ran it a few seconds. Now on to the water pump....
