thank you for checking!!!...and please let me know if you find out anything at the boat store. Even a part number would be great at this point, so I would know what to ask for as I look for it.

Re: 1973 evinrude part I D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The picture is correct, that is the way it is and that is the way it goes. Whoever drew the parts list goofed up and left it out. However, the same part is used to retain all the throttle and choke links on the 1970 (and other) 60hp. It is part number 313329, Retainer. About $3 at the BRP website.

got this reply from iboats site good luck let me know how you make out

Hardwatergrandpa: Thank you very much for all of the effort you put into helping me out with this....mystery solved!!!! I actually had finally figured it out today and came up with the same part number. I went to eBay and started looking at photos of Evinrude carbs to see if I could locate one with this retainer on it. As I was searching, I found a carb from a 1984 35hp that showed a picture of this retainer on the linkage. I went to the Evinrude site and searched for the exploded view of this carb and, sure enough, there it was...part number 0313329, Retainer, throttle lever! I don't know how many of those diagrams I searched that did not show the retainer at all. It shows another part in its place that simply doesn't exist on my motor, so I guess somebody did fail to get it right when they did the drawings.

Once again, I really appreciate all of the effort you put into helping me with this. I have already placed my order for two of these retainers (I figured it can't hurt to have an extra one on hand..just in case). Hopefully they will have them in stock and I'll have them this week. Thanks again for all the help!

well looks like you solved it on your own they say they have the part on hand so you should be good to go hope every thing works out for ya let me know if its the right parts

well, I may have figured it out on my own, but the fact that you had helped verify the part number made me feel pretty confident that I had found the right info. Although I have overcome this obstacle, I'm sure there will be another question or two in the near future, so it's nice to know that you guys are here and willing to share your knowledge. For someone like me, who doesn't have much experience with boat motors, this site provides a wealth of information and those of you who come here to share your knowledge are much appreciated! I'm sure you'll see me here again with more questions before long...and I'll post some pics of the boat I'm working on as soon as I can remember to buy some batteries for my camera. Thanks again, Hardwatergrampa....I'm amazed at all of the effort you put into to helping me!
