Re: 1966 Evinrude Playmate

Thanks Chad -

Not the answer I wanted--but probably true. ;-}

 I've rebuilt car and truck carbs in the past and always got some kind
of kit with all the little replaceable springs, washers and gaskets.
 It's hard top believe I could find such a thing for my Playmate. Any
suggestions?

thanx
