OMC J/A carb?

[jtb]

Just curious-
I tried to track down a carb baffle for an OMC J/A mota and found out that they are NLA. Has anyone here stuffed one with epoxy and do you know if it’s legal or not?
I have some back up parts and I would love to have it ready to bolt on if need be with out pulling it apart and swapping out my only baffle.

Thanks-
JT

Baffle.....

Contact Dave Bennett. I believe he lives in the Manteo area.

Two things. I believe I saw the line in the rulebook that says it is legal to use epoxy in the holes of the 15HP OMC carb. Secondly, I spoke with Ed Runne and Ron Sellwach (sp) and they can get baffles, they make them out of carbon fiber for like $25.00 or something
