The carb goes to a 2004 tohatsu 9.8 4 stroke. I went to 2 local shops and all they told me was to buy a replacement carb for $248. I may try to create one myself like he said above.

I broke a black piece on my throttle/choke when I got in a rush I can't seem to find a replacement for it so I can either try to glue or epoxy it or buy a new carb no dealer can help me and only told me to buy a new carb. Please let me know what you . Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk
