Safety First: Ensure the engine is turned off and cool to the touch. Disconnect the battery and engage the kill switch.

Remove Old Components: Carefully remove the original primer cover, gasket, and valve. Keep track of any screws or small hardware.
-
Clean Seating Area: Clean the mounting surface on the carburetor to ensure a proper seal with the new gasket.
-

Secure Assembly: Fasten the new assembly using the original hardware. Tighten screws evenly to avoid warping the cover.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I know if this kit fits my Johnson/Evinrude engine?
A: This kit is designed for 9.9HP and 15HP 2-stroke Johnson/Evinrude engines with a primer valve, but it specifically excludes all 1993 models. Please verify your engine model and year and confirm the OEM part numbers (175158, 437228) match your existing components.
