Never used lapping compound, might have to get a tube and try it

How is the bushing held in place? Is it press fit or what? I've rebuilt quite a few outboard carburetors never ran into the issue before

Ok ,it seems to not spin freely in the bushing, replaced the needle with a brand new one,cuz the old one was loose and vibrated completely out,that's why I considered using epoxy on the bushing

Hey guys, I've got a 1967 Evinrude 18 horse doing a rebuild on the carburetor, my question is has anybody ever dealt with the bushing that the low speed needle screws into coming out, part # OMC 0303947, screwing the low speed needle in noticed it wasn't getting any tighter the bushing was...

Hey guys I got the broken needle out, had to drill a hole in the Welch plug chamber, and use a very small punch and knocked it out reassembled the carb with an oem kit ,runs great now!! Plugged up the hole with JB weld steel stick

They sound like their pretty good engines,I picked this one up for 40$ resealed the gear case,new impeller, carburetor kit,new OEM needle,and a used hood, because it was missing,got it to run with the new needle,but wouldn't idle down properly

Yes it's just the tip that's broken off , everything else is intact

Drill which end the end where the needle goes into the carb body?

Okay would you explain more in detail about where to drill a hole and everything

Hey guys ,looking for some advice I've got a six horsepower 1971 Johnson ,somebody has broken the low speed needle off in the orifice wondering if anybody's got any tips on how to remove it, you can see the tip of the needle inside the hole where the Welch plug is and if you look through the...

Hey guys, I just bought a 1971 Johnson 6 horse, model #6r71g, it didn't have a hood on it when I bought it I'm wondering what years Hood would fit that looking for one, appreciate any information.Jim

Yes I understand what you're saying,it's just an experiment,to see it it'll work,am going to buy a new propeller, definitely don't need anything happening with the gear set, that's pretty pricey!!

Yeah I considered doing that, but was concerned it might effect the balance,this is the first time I've attempted repairing the hub,I'll let y'all know if it works

It's off an 1967 Evinrude 18 HP,I'll post the results whenever I get it back on and test run

Yes,I understand that,it's just an experiment,if it doesn't work I ain't out ,but like 5$ for the gorilla glue epoxy,I have another good prop on it now,gonna buy a new one soon

Yes ,old hub came out unscathed ,so I cleaned everything up well, put gorilla glue epoxy all over the hub surface, pressed it back into place

Oh ok , I've since repaired the hub, pressed it back in and used gorilla glue epoxy, haven't tested it yet,the results are to be determined

Yes ,I totally agree with you on that, everything is made cheaply, plastic, Chinese garbage,the old OMC outboards where made quite well

Interesting, I would think that repair would cause the propeller to be out of balance? ,but thanks for sharing.
