I don 't see orings in the parts layout above.

which hole ?? on top of the carb did you look down in ..... is it below the #2 lead plug...I do not think that lead plug should allow you to "see" down the carb otherwise the carb would suck air and null out the idle circuit functions on the carb !!


previous owner may have removed the original plug and stuffed in something afterwards blocking any fuel flow up the carb ??...

can you post pictures inside and outside the carb ...worth a thousand words sometimes :)
Looking down the hole with the lead plug in it looks like someone broke off a drill in it so I'm down to buying a carburetor, And for getting a picture i don't think I can.

Thank everyone for their help It was the carburetor, So I was able to find a
40 hp evinrude like new for $300.00 sitting in a garage and I grabbed it
could not get 2 carburetors for that, I don't think I would need to rebuild them but I will, Lots of spare parts if i need them.
Thanks again to all that helped me BILL
