Probably a looper. What is your model #?<br />You will need 1 kit for each carb.

rcupp,The only 200 motor I know of that doesn't have six carbs is the earlier models that ran three carbs into six.You'll have to come up with a model code to obtain the correct carb kits for your motor.There are four for Johnson 200hp<br /> STLCEB<br /> TXCEA<br /> CXCEA<br /> TJ200TXCEA

i just went through the 4 i paid some one to do and they messed them up by adding the nylon washer to the needle and seat. if it has a raised area leave out if, its flat put it in. the kits cover a variety of years. there is a torque sequence on the fuel bowel if you dont have a johnson manual i will be happy to copy and mail you the pages concerning the rebuild. ebay has alot as of today for a good price if you win.

Re: Model No. Carb rebuilding

also before you take them off get picures of fuel line routing.< trust me on that one> and make a diagram of the carbs in relation to your motor and put down the jet sizes < idle and intermediate> for each carb. they might have been changed to individually tune a specific cylinder. if they are different and you mix them up atleast you will know where they started out. on my research i found that depending on year certain carbs and cylinders were tuned different from omc.

Hey 2K; You been working on old boat anchor FE's for 20 years? Gotta love the old lumps. Hot Rod did a build up on one this month - 450 horses from a 390! Not bad at all. It's all in the heads; Edelbrock has those lovely aluminum units that pretty much duplicate the medium riser units. Considering the FE's been out of production for what 25+ years now, it's great to see renewed interest.<br />I used to race a 67 Cougar with a 428 SCJ in it a long while back. <br /><br />Sorry, I know this is off topic.

Re: Model No. Carb rebuilding

the other is be very careful with the idle circut rods. if you damage them you will have to replace the body it self. those carbs are $400 a piece if you can find them. i bought a complete 140 set up off of ebay with intake for $50 in may. a complete set for a 90 225 just sold for$75 <i think>. use under 25lbs of air when blowing dry and dont squirt carb cleaner in to rods it could push them out along with getting in your eyes. good luck

Re: Model No. Carb rebuilding

Holy Shamoly! I know this hasn't got anything to do with outboards, but I'll beg your indulgence.<br /><br />2K, I thought I had experience with FE's, but I take my hat off to you, sir. Wow. I have to laugh when I hear people talk about old Ford's, and the first thing they say is "gotta get rid of that old 390, or 352". <br />Have you seen the stroker kits for the 427 block? 485" with a 4.125" stroke. Of course, it's puny compared with the monsters you can make from a 460 block, but heh... <br /><br />Thank you all for your patience.

Re: Model No. Carb rebuilding

Re: Model No. Carb rebuilding

Well, they did use those motors in boats . Not outboards though.<br />I've had my say.
