1961 5.5Hp Johnson Carb Kit with Float

[OptsyEagle]

I have the two part numbers for the carb kit for my motor. Sierra is 18-7043 and BRP is 439071. I am pretty sure the Sierra kit does not have a new float, but would anyone know if the BRP kit 439071 comes with a new float?

My experience is Sierra kits = no float, OMC/BRP = float included.

Thanks for that. Would anyone know the inside diameter of the fuel hoses this motor uses? I don't have the motor in front of me but I imagine there is 3 hoses.
1) Fuel Connector to Fuel Filter
2) Fuel Filter to Fuel Pump
3 Fuel Pump to Carburetor

Are they all the same inside diameter?

5/32" is correct for the small ones. But 3/16" from Advance Auto Parts works just fine. OMC calls the large one 5/16", but again, 1/4" from Advance works just as well.
