Folks....

I have a 15 HP Johnson model J15RENM outboard motor (rope start) and a
25 HP Mariner model 25ELH outboard motor (electric start). Both are 2
cycle engines where you mix the oil with the gas.

Here's a blow-up of the Johnson carb:http://www.crowleymarine.com/brp_par...rams/38195.cfm

I didn't google further, but using model/serial numbers you can
sometime find info. Sometimes you're just better off buying a manual
if you think it's worth it.
One time an IDE controller went out on a daughters computer
motherboard. It was a Compaq Presario something or other, and
a new MB was @400 bucks. I spent a few hours reading through google
results on a number and found a 2 exchange discussion on some obscure
tech board where one of the techs said to another something like "That
Compaq Presario board is no different than the Acme 105 except for the
Compaq logo in the bios." So I bought an Acme 105 for 96 bucks and
all was well. But you have to have tolerance for that kind of
searching.

Looks like they want $38 for a kit. Kinda steep. It's "marine" :-)
Kit for a similar carb on a mower would be $14. You could disassemble
first being real careful and see if you can get by with the old
parts. That's what I usually do. It should be obvious when you tear
it down if you are going to have to buy the kit or not. Not sure what
the needle valve is but I'd pay close attention to that while
cleaning. Another good reason to get a service manual as you're going
to have to adjust that when you put it back on.
