1963 18hp Johnson Carb Kit with Float and Needle Valve

[Jeremy5150]

Anyone know where I can find a 1963 18hp Johnson Carb Kit with the Float? I can find them without, but i really need the float as well. Also how hard is it to find a needle valve, as I broke one trying to get it out. Thanks

The #439071 factory carb kit, available at any authorized dealership, comes with all the parts you need to rebuild the carb, including the float. Retail is around $17.

Thanks a bunch. Got that ordered now. Any way to find out what needle valves i will need to replace the current ones?

If you mean the valve that the float operates, it (and a new seat) comes with the kit.<br />If you mean one of the mixture control valves, you might try an outboard junkyard like tcoutboard.com

Yes, im specifically meaning the high-speed needle valve. Sorry for the confusion.
