1987 Evinrude 175 carb part

This tiny nipple is broken off of the bottom carb. It’s the choke inlet. Anyone have any idea how to fix or replace? I don’t see a part listed.

Depends on what is in your shop / tool box.---Remove it and replace it.--That fitting was used on many motors too.--might have to machine that fitting.----Drill it for a small thread.----install a stud with a wee hole in it.------Or plug it and plug the hose.-----Motor will start with 4 cylinders getting extra fuel for start up.----Your choice.

You could try a 327706 carb nipple

Thanks guys. I tried to remove it. I did not want to force it too much. So, reinstalled and actually did not plug the nipple so it is open. I plugged the end of the fuel line from choke. Seems to run fine. Prob needs to be addressed though.

That system ( electric primer ) does NOTHING when the engine is running.----It is only used on start up.

Try that part # I gave you.

Ya, I’ll get the new nipple. The only thing I was thinking is the nipple being open could impact air flow in carb.
