2001 200hp Carburetor Torque Specs

[Scode68]

Hi,

I'm looking for some torque specs for the side plates and bowls on a 2001 Johnson 200hp J200VXSIF. would like to know what a Evinrude manual says cause I think the SELOC numbers might be incorrect. Mechanic said they should only be like 15 inch lbs.

Those numbers sound correct to me.

The 15 inch lbs?

 

[racerone]

Why yes.----Actually I think it is 10 inch LBS for carburetor bowls.

 

[Scode68]

This is from the SELOC manual.

 

[racerone]

You will not go wrong by following your manual.----Good luck with the project.

Tightening the side plates and bowls to the SELOC specs ruined the gaskets and deformed the bowls to the point the floats were hanging up.

Did you read post #4 , think it is nonsense ?

I read everything. This is why I’m looking for a spec from a factory repair manual

That’s what the SELOC had, but they cut into the gaskets to the point where I had huge air leaks. This was also with using the new BRP kits. Dealer/mechanic said that I shouldn’t go over 15 inch lbs.
