i need to replace float for my 9.8 carb. I noticed two types one is all plastic with no adjustment tab and the other one has a tab.

I take it the non adjustable one is preset and just drops in ready to go?

Please advise.

Thanks.

part numbers are 1395-9293 and 18-4209
 
I like the adjustable float. Just rebuilt one this summer. Got it from an outboard shop here in MN. Tim's....218 682 2331. They put together a complete kit for me.
 
Does your engine have the fuel pump separate from the carb or attached to the carb? That will tell you which float to use.
 
It's probably the motor with blue colored highlites/decals.....mid 70's to mid 80's.....my guess it's a 1980. Merc uses serial numbers....keeps going higher as years roll by.
 
Yeah its a 1975 .I have the manual for it. I just want to find out if I can use the all plastic float that is non adjustable or the OEM. Site says they are interchangeable, but ive never seen one without adjusting tab?
