vintage 1980 3.5 outboard

Postby Allan Donaldson » Sun Aug 07, 2005 2:28 pm

Back in 1980 when the K & B 3.5 outboard was brand new, I bought one. I have one in mint condition, but it was never "updated" when K & B changed th throttle setup. Also, it was never run. I am now ready to use it. I need to know if anyone has a throtlle package that updated the"old" style, original 3.5's and also if it can still be useable (and any starting prep) after all these years.

All I can suggest is to buy a new carb. PN 80-8902
pricing at

you will also need the carb screws
25-8981

you can leave the exhaust throttle wide open when using the carb.
