Hey guys I have a question about all the different cab models For my 2002 75hp # 0T564442 ELPTO. First off, why is there 5 different carbs for my engine model year, and what are the differences, The only thing I can think of is the Main Jets ??


It shows 5 different 75hp model carbs

WME-82 WME-84 WME-75 WME-103 WME-106

The numbers on my carbs come back as a Non Electric/Non oil injected 75hp. But my motor is a ELPTO/ Electric start and oil injected ?? I purchased it from the original owner and nothing was ever replaced or added so I dont understand.

I am looking into this because I have had an ongoing issue with the top end falling flat on its face and feeling like it was running out of fuel up top. Everything you could replace and check or clean I have already done. This had me looking back into the carbs again because it always felt like fuel starvation to me, So the main jets in my carbs are all 3 @ .52 and that is correct for those carb numbers BUT... The carb model number that should be on there according to my specs calls for .52 on top and .54 middle and .54 bottom.. This would make sense about my issue I was having were it felt lean and flat on top end with hesitation..

So I wanted to know what made all these model carbs different from each other and whether I could just change the main Jets to get where i need or is there more to it ?

Thanks for any help !

Jetting is correct but I would put a .054 in top carb also...jetting wont cause your problem but fuel delivery will.

Do you have any Idea what the differences are between all the different carbs ? Also why would they spec a .52 on top and the other two a .54 ?

Also why would a " Non oil injected " carb have a smaller main jet size anyway ? They both will pass the same gas/oil mixture anyway right ?

There may be other differences than just the main jets. Air bleeds are one. Only the people who engineered these engines really know why there are variations
