Carb kit question

Does Yamaha, or a parts supplier, sell a carb kit for a 2006 25ESH? I, of course, see individual parts for sale on this site and others but I haven't seen a kit similar to those I buy for Johnson/Evinrude etc.
 
I don't think they do. I spoke to a Yamaha dealer about this once and he said that when you do see kits they are just the individual parts put together by downstream resellers and usually more expensive than the sum of the parts. This may not hold true for all parts of the world, but seems to be the case here in Australia.
 
What do you need a carb kit for? Before you spend a fortune on one of those "Carb Kits" that has a whole bunch of stuff that replaces everything that is probably just fine. Do what I do... Spend a few bucks on a 3-4 cans of jet spray carb cleaner. Carb cleaner is cheap, outboard engine parts are expensive. pull the carbs, break them down and blast that cleaner through every orifice you can find. Most important, each carb will have a brass fuel jet. You'll see it down in an orifice and you'll be able to back it out with a long thin standard screw driver. Most carb brobs come from clogged or partially clogged fuel jets. When you unscrew it it will look like a little brass tube that has a tiny TINY hole in it. THat little hole is where clogging usually happens with gunk and gum. Blast through that with the carb cleaner and take some COPPER wire and run it through that hole a few times. Don't use a pin ot paper clip as you don't want to scratch that brass and create a point where more gunk can get stuck. Copper is softer than brass so you can run a thin copper sire through there a few times to break any gunk out without scratching the brass. Blast away with some more carb cleaner and put it all back together. Dont' let anyone tell you all floats, gaskets, etc. need replaced when pulling and taking a carb apart. That is a bunch of hooey as 95% of the time after a cleaning and putting everything back the engine will run perfectly. Again... NO SKIMPING ON THE CANS OF CARB CLEANER.
