[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 484147, member: 13975"] JMO, but if that model Evinrude has the plastic topped carb I would pass and look for an older model with the full metal carbs. Plastic ones are fine but they are easier to break and then the plastic tops are an extra expense plus the gasket. I also could never get my plastic topped carb to idle well but I put on an old style carb and it idled much better for whatever reason. Also not entirely sure when but sometime around then they changed the ignition system to the under the flywheel type (UFI?). I would imagine those ignition parts may cost a little more than the later models but I dont know that for sure. [/QUOTE]
