I think I have probably answered this a dozen times. A shouldered stripper bolt is the proper bolt for a puller. That's probably why OMC supplied them with there puller for 50 yrs.

Agree. I broke down and bought some for my puller. Those bolts are strong!

motor quit on me when I was on the lake on a windy day. Gas was pouring out of the carb whenever the primer bulb was squeezed.
Got a $20 carb kit and it fixed the problem.
