0335729 BRP Retainer | Genuine Used Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Johnson Evinrude Intake Balance-Tube Retainer - Part Number: 0335729

A genuine used OMC / BRP retainer for the intake-manifold balance tube used on selected Johnson and Evinrude carburetted V4 and V6 two-stroke outboard motors.

The retainer secures the balance tube or its drain hose across the intake-manifold assembly, preventing the tube from moving into the throttle linkage or vibrating against the air-silencer components.
