I can’t find parts for my carburetor, what carb can I replace it with?

[Dusty1984]

I have a 1988 force 50. I ordered a rebuild kit that was supposed to be a replacement for the parts they no longer make but the needle and set didn’t match what was in my carb. Is there other carbs that I can buy to replace the one I have.

Other brands don't change over.
Try Franz Marine for hard to find stuff.

You may be able to use just the new needle with the old seat. I have used a Qtip and brasso cleaner to polish the seat. Chinese kits have the wrong thread. Gaskets are suspect too.

Threads a year old.

Yeah it is. Did not notice that until I posted. Just trying to help a fellow boater. My apologies sir.
