Evinrude Carb Idle Retainer

[turtle1173]

Hi all, <br />I've been working on a 1977 35HP Evinrude, model #: 35753H I Just finished making my own engine harness. I put on a fresh battery, squirted a little pre-mix in the carb throat and she fired right up. I was excited as this motor hasn't been run in 15 years. <br /><br />I took the carb off, as I figured it would be in very poor shape. It wasn't. However, when I removed the low speed idle needle valve, the delwin retainer fell apart. That's the piece that keeps the needle from moving when the motor is running (from vibration). How do I find another one of these? Or, is there another method to keep the needle setting in place? I know many engines use a spring. Would this work? <br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />Shane

I don't have that late an engine, but does the carburetor kit include that retainer? Sounds like something that would be in there.

My 9.9/15 carb kit didn't come with the retainer, but thankfully the one already on there was intact.
