Johnson 9.9 1988 Plastic Carb top replacement question.

[louisvillefisherman]

I need to replace my plastic carb top on my 1988 Johnson 9.9.

My old one is the style that has the bolt that screws into the top which holds the roller cam pivot. (I broke it accidently).

Apparently they only sell the newer style that has the plastic stud molded into the top versus the old bolt method.

Can anyone tell me if these two tops are interchangeable?

The one I am looking to purchase is from this website, but before spending the $100 I want to see if anyone knows.

Here is a link to the one I would like to purchase if it is in fact compatible with my older style plastic top.

I just called marineengine.com and spoke with a very nice gentleman who said that in fact this top is compatible with the older style plastic top.

So I ordered it along with another part that I need (the sleeve is broken from my roller cam as well so I also replaced the whole roller, cam and bracket as well).

If it is not the correct style top I will follow up with a reply for future readers.
