air silencer screws

[medic2051]

Motor is a 1975 Johnson 50 hp. Rebuilt the carbs last fall, and lost the screws for the air silencer cover. Is the cover necessary?<br /><br />If so, are the screws a type which I could pick up at a hardware store? Or should I just reorder from online outlet.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />p.s. Part # of screws is 314576

Yes, you need the cover.<br /><br />There is nothing special about the screws except that they are probably stainless steel.

You're right. Screws can't be that expensive. <br />So, just what does the cover do, anyway?
