    Anybody know of where to find the list of actual parts inside rebuild kit. I ordered a 18-7010 carb kit for 33 hp Johnson.

    outboard Service manual slection

    What would be the best service manual : The original factory manual or the Seloc ? Maybe these are one in the same, but from the sales page, it appears that there are two options. Thanks in advance for advice.
