1995 Evinrude 150 Carb question

[Sir Robin]

I have a 1995 Evinrude 150. I ordered carb kits for the carbs to be rebuilt. Included in the carb kit is a gasket that goes under the "seat" to the needle and seat. Upon dissasembly, the carbs did not have this gasket, do I need to install the ones that came with the kit? Or leave them off as it was originally?

I wasn't sure if this was an "upgraded" part.

thanks

The carbs that do not use a gasket for the needle and seat has a raised contact point on the carb. Makes me think of a buildt in o-ring. If you use gasket with this carb, float will set very high, when trying to set the float height.

Good to "see" you Mr Clanton. Hope you're doing OK.

It is not neccesary to add the additional O-ring to the seat. =)
