Does anyone know if you cna interchange the externally adjustable float bowls from any 4160 to another one. I'd like to modify my old marine 4160 but after pricing the parts out new thought I could perhaps get one off ebay and then just swap out the bowls and rebuild/replace floats, valves and seats.
There seem to be a lot of the 4160's available for around 25.00 US. Sure beats the over 150.00 in parts new.

It doesn't need to run bad or look bad just because it's old!

I would assume the bowls and interchangable. But, I thought that the externally adjustable need valves are automotive carbs only and marine carbs do NOT have this feature as it would be a fuel leak potential that did not direct the leak into the engine. Be careful.

Good point, can't believe that there would be that much of an issue though. My PCM manual actually speaks to the externally adjusted floats so they must have come on some models. That's how I found out about it, was reading the manual and then trying to find the darn adjustment on the carb. Then realized mine doesn't have it...
