[QUOTE="airshot, post: 495350, member: 1183"] The problem with aftermarket is, their quality control, and they make a part to fit a variety of mfgrs, so while it might fit...it wont be specific to your model. Non functioning parts, then aftermarket is fine, but, functioning parts are a big gamble. I belong to numerous boating forums, one of the most common issues are...I replaced the carb with an after market and it runs crappy !! Sometimes people go thru multiple carbs before they get one that actually works. Been a boater for over 60 years, in most cases you are far better off to get a " factory" rebuild kit to rebuild the original carb than buy an aftermarket carb. OEM parts generally work correctly right from the start, but after market stuff is a real crapshoot !! [/QUOTE]
