Re: 1966 Evinrude Playmate

What horse power engine do you have? The 1966 120 HP Evinrude shows the
carb repair kit number of 380650 superceded to 979719. My inventory shows 2
in stock. It became NLA from OMC in 1986. OMC last suggested list price
was $29.75. Will sell for 1/2 of this plus shipping.

Our dealership sold the OMC (Evinrude) boats in 1967-1970. We retired but I
still have some parts, parts catalogs for Evinrude boats and OMC
engine/sterndrives. Please email me directly for prices and availability.
