[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 480172, member: 3278"] [size=5]I will not speak for all brands of vintage engines but there is no substitute for OEM parts for carb kits, ignition components, and water pump components when we are talking about Johnson, Evinrude product. If you do a search in here you will find many references such as yours. An example is that the only complete carb kit is an OEM. Another example you will find will reference aftermarket ignition components that will not fit, will not supply spark at hand crank speeds and will not last. Water pump components have been found to have improper fit as well. Marineengine.com is a good place to start if for no other reason than to look up a part number and reference price. AOMCI.org is another place to start looking for harder to find parts. They can help with a lot to get your engines back on the water. [/size] [/QUOTE]
