Review on πŸ”§ Premium Carburetor Repair Rebuild Kit (Johnson/Evinrude 439073 431897) - Restore Performance of 6-20 HP Outboard Motors by Greg Lockhart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Useless junk - Gaskets dissolve in gasoline.

Bought this kit to overhaul my carburetor. A week later the problems started, so I opened up the carburetor. Each pad was soft, enlarged and deformed. They soaked up gas, swelled to half their original size, and failed to seal. Some spacers grew so large that the float stopped working. Obviously this isn't a product that I can return once installed, so I'm not paying the purchase price. To make matters worse, I'm on a 4 month road trip in a week and don't have my outboard running at the moment.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost never
