Had some carb issues and I pulled it and cleaned it. Ordered a kit for it. Got the kit. Went to put it in and found there MAY be something missing from the new kit......
When I pulled the carb off the engine I noticed there was a small "plug"(?) in the fuel pump element (?). Kept all the parts I took out just in case. I thought all these parts would come in the kit. But that little "plug" didnt.
My question is this...... Whats this plug for? And my next question is....Do I use the old plug or is it not needed?
I also noticed there was a thick gasket on the fuel pump and when I got the kit the gasket was thin. Does this have something to do with the plug being in the element?
Searched forever but found no info that was helpful so I registered and asked.
Thanx in advance.

) as the outboard will not pump fuel without it. If you are careful with the old one (and it's in good condition) you could use the old one, but I wouldn't. The element can be easily destroyed with solvents, carb cleaner, and shrivel up so handle it carefully.
