[QUOTE="Charger25, post: 287246, member: 9620"] When I created the Frankenstein 8hp , found out all the carbs and all other parts were the same on the 6 thru 8 hp. So I got 6 hp carb, a rebuild kit and jet for an 8 hp. To brag a bit it runs like a champ and starts on the 2nd pull. This is was originally 1983 Evinrude 7.5 that was sunk in salt water for about 4 or 5 days. After looking at the parts for 8 merc and the 9.9, it [b]looks[/b] like you can just replace the jet in the carb. [/QUOTE]
