I'm in the process of cleaning the carb on my 1986 9.9hp and while I was going through the disassembly I found the idle needle retainer was broken - another 5-7 days until on the water:mad:. Also, the cork float assembly looked a little suspicious, so I ordered a replacement from BRP at the same time. BRP didn't specify whether the replacement is cork or plastic, so I'm wondering if anyone here has purchased the same part and what it's made of.

Thanks - BOB

EDIT: Here's a pic of the current float and broken retainer - BOO!!

maybe. I bought a kit at a dealer the other day still had a cork float in it.

Whoopbass - I'm going to blindly hope you're right!:D I'll let you know (w/ pics) when it comes in. As of now, BRP is still searching their stock of parts.:rolleyes:
