carburetor kit for 1996 Evinrude 48hp

[Dennis1958]

I'm waiting on a parts manual that I bought on ebay and wanted to investigate what a carburetor kit would cost for my model E48ESLED 1996 Evinrude 48hp SPL motor. Can anyone help me with a number on what that part would be?

About $11.00 here at iboats for a Sierra kit. I'd get the OEM kit though. They are better:

OMC carb kit (396701) is about $24.00:

Do I have to get 2 (396701)or does 1 kit do both carburetors?

You will need 2. One for each carb. That sierra number from iboats appears to be wrong. After checking several other sites, it indicates the correct Sierra kit would be # 18-7042....
