F8MSH Carburetor Part Number

[mohrland]

My 2005 F8MSH will only run at low speed and idle with choke open. Runs fine on higher speeds. Figure the low speed jets plugged (good old ethanol). Want to buy spare carburetor, but for there seems to be a choice of 2 carburetor part numbers, and I've seen this at several suppliers. For example at Boats.net, the parts numbers start with a 68R and a 68T and there is a slight price difference. Any idea how I select the one I should have for my F8?

68R is for 6 HP
68T is for 8 HP

Good Luck

You have to close the choke to activate it, should normally run motor with it in open position
