Float valve and seat assembly, 1977 55 evinrude

[glengold]

Recent rebuild of the carbs, used sierra kit.

Last weekend the float valve stuck shut, under closer inspection I noticed the tips are rubber, a few threads on this site have reported similar problems with the rubber-tipped valves sticking in the seat. Can anyone verify if the BRP part is rubber tipped or not?? I do not want to spend ~7 bucks per carb for something I already have!! Thanks

Look again I also thought they were something different,After scraping on one it wasn't rubber,Don't know what it was but scrapping on it did nothing.The seat it fits into up the hole is a rubber seat,and it has to be seated correctly, it has a up and down side,It is small and at times troublesome to get in correctly

Check with napa, ebay, boats.net, ask about the float needles before you order.
