OMC Evinrude Johnson Fuel Manifold

An OMC Evinrude Johnson fuel manifold is a crucial component of the fuel system, distributing fuel to the individual cylinders of the engine. It's essentially a pipe or mnifold that connects to the fuel source and distributes fuel to the engine's cylinders. This ensures each cylinder receives the correct amount of fuel for optimal combustion and engine performance. 

Here's a more detailed description

Function:

The fuel manifold's primary job is to evenly distribute fuel from the main fuel line to the individual cylinders.

Material:

Historically, these were made from aluminum or cast iron, but newer designs may use composite materials

Purpose

Proper fuel distribution is essential for engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control

OMC/Evinrude/Johnson Connection:

Outboard Marine Corporation, which included Evinrude and Johnson outboard motors, used fuel manifolds as a standard component in their engines.

OEM

The fuel manifold is often referred to as a factory original equipment item, meaning it's a part made by the original manufacturer and not a third-party aftermarket product.
