Troubleshooting & FAQ
Which engines does this carburetor rebuild kit fit?
This kit is designed for a broad range of Johnson/Evinrude V6 150-300HP engines (1986–2001) and specific 60° V4 90/115 Looper models (1995–2006). Because applications vary, always confirm your engine's OEM part number against our Part Number Matrix.
How can I confirm this kit is correct for my carburetor?
The most reliable method is to match your existing carburetor's part number or the old kit's number to the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix. This kit replaces OEM parts 438996 and 436852, as well as aftermarket equivalents like Sierra 18-7247.
What are common signs that my carburetor needs to be rebuilt?
Symptoms of a failing carburetor include difficulty starting, rough idling, stalling at low speeds, poor acceleration, engine hesitation, or black smoke from the exhaust, which can indicate an overly rich fuel mixture.
Does this rebuild kit include the carburetor float?
No, the float is not included. This kit contains the float pin, float bowl gasket, and the needle and seat assembly, but not the float body itself.
