[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 458106, member: 13975"] I'm 95% sure I installed the correct carb. I have the installed 15hp carb off of a 1982 model as well as a 9.9hp carb on another 1982 model plus a spare 9.9hp carb from a similar year. So I'm very aware of the differences....that 5% of doubt would be if I messed up while playing musical carbs lol. I'm confident its the correct one if for the only reason that when I put a 9.9hp carb on the 1982 15hp once, the boat was considerably slower. And my comment on being the same was in reference to an older model 15hp to a new model 15hp like my 1992 (not 9.9hp vs 15hp). I know the ignition system is slightly different, the thermostat was relocated to the top of the head, the carb went to the plastic top, the midsection got that exhaust baffle cover added, and then the cable style throttle was added. The only thing that makes me question if the throat size increased any was that the WOT max for my 1992 is listed as 7000 rpms while for the 1982 it's 6500. [/QUOTE]
