Does anyone have for sale/loan/rent, or know where I can obtain the "venturi locating tool" for my carburetor?<br /><br />My service manual specifies that the venturi should be installed in a specific orientation which I believe is slightly off-center. There's a plastic tool that aligns the venturi, then you just tighten the hold-down screws. I don't know the part number for the tool, or where to get it..<br /><br />75hp 1963 V4, model 75353<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Rick

Rick.... That tool isn't plastic, it's made of aluminum, OMC part number 379242 which has been unavailable since 1987. The last outrageous price I saw on that item was around $70.00 or so. I do have one in my special tool group that I would part with. If interested, contact me via my e-mail address and offer me what you consider a fair price. If I don't care for it, I'll counter offer.
