Hello all before I purchase my carb kits I wanted to get your opinion on if I should spend the little extra cash and get the OMC brand carb kit or a aftermarket kit? I read that aftermarket kits may not contain a new float? I have a 1997 40HP Evinrude with rough/loopy idle and leaking from carbs when motors tilted up (I know it may be normal to leak a little but this is quite a bit). Thanks in advance!

Re: Carb Kit OMC or Aftermarket

you wiil be fine without the new float, yours is plastic, and will last forever.

when you tilt the motor the carbs are out of level. the further you tilt it the more it leaks. if you can disconnect fuel line when tilting.
