Heads up, 1980 & older OMC owners

You know those white plastic fittings that hold the throttle linkages in place? A couple on each carb, and 1 or 2 ball/socket joints for the spark advance rod?

They seem to have a useful life of just about 30 to 32 years, then they start breaking. Once one breaks, might as well replace 'em all...the others aren't far behind. save a bundle on shipping, vs ordering 'em one at a time.

Don't ask me how I know.........


does anybody know where I can get some of those, they don't seem to have a part number..........NEVER MIND, found it. thanks anyway.

agree with you 100 %.

also the throttle cam follower on late 80s and 90s. the outer cracks falls of then it rides on inner, causing slop in the linkage, and impossible for properly linc n sinc.
