LostPiker Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just had a call from the firm servicing my outboard. One of the carbs is corroded and the throttle is sticking open and needs to be replaced. A new one is expensive and not available for 8 weeks. Does anyone have a carb off a blown engine or spare? thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Out of curiosity, which company are you using for the service? If it's a company local to you in Reading I may know the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 If its just the throttle sticking, its easy enough fix, 2 screws remove the butterfly, tap the shaft out, clean hole with light abrasives, clean shaft, lubricate and refit... As alternative, split them all out, strip and send them all away to be ultrasonically cleaned, some places will strip and rebuild them for you as part of the service Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostPiker Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thanks guys. I've found a set on ebay and bought them. Not cheap but it's the quickest way. Then I can rebuild the dodgy one and either have a spare set or sell them on Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
