It is built to restore proper primer function on the fuel system, using a chrome-finished metal ball valve with threaded inlet and outlet connections for a direct, drop-in fit. The kit includes 2 pieces and directly replaces OEM part number 437228.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed to fit all Johnson\/Evinrude outboards that use a primer valve, with the exception of 1993 9.9 HP and 15 HP models, which use a different configuration. Because the valve is threaded on both the inlet and outlet side, installation follows the same servicing procedure as the original primer valve, making this a straightforward maintenance part for keeping the priming circuit sealed and functional. The compact, low-profile design (3.9 x 5.05 x 0.85 inches) keeps the kit close to the original OEM footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-7044-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces (OEM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 437228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Johnson\/Evinrude outboards with primer valve (except 1993 9.9 HP and 15 HP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threaded (inlet and outlet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.9 x 5.05 x 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282378271\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Johnson\/Evinrude outboards with a primer valve, except 1993 9.9 HP and 15 HP models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e437228\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-7044-1 Service Valve Kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It fits all Johnson\/Evinrude outboards equipped with a primer valve, except 1993 9.9 HP and 15 HP models, which use a different valve configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part number does this kit replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7044-1 Service Valve Kit replaces OEM part number 437228.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces come in the 18-7044-1 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes 2 pieces, forming the complete ball valve assembly for the primer circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the valve made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The valve body is metal with a chrome finish, matching the original primer valve construction on Johnson\/Evinrude outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Sierra 18-7044-1 valve kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit measures 3.9 x 5.05 x 0.85 inches and weighs 0.05 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the inlet and outlet connections threaded?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, both the inlet and outlet on the 18-7044-1 Service Valve Kit use threaded connections for direct installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this kit work on a 1993 9.9 HP or 15 HP Evinrude?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Sierra 18-7044-1 is not designed for 1993 9.9 HP or 15 HP models; those engines require a different primer valve setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many ports does the valve have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7044-1 is a 2-port ball valve, matching the OEM primer valve layout it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Sierra part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7044-1 Service Valve Kit is manufactured and sold under the Sierra brand as a replacement part for the OEM 437228 primer valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 18-7044 and 18-7044-1 kits?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7044 Service Valve Kit replaces OEM numbers 175158 and 437228, while the 18-7044-1 covers only OEM part 437228; both fit the same Johnson\/Evinrude primer valve applications, except 1993 9.9 HP and 15 HP models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the primer valve used for on these outboards?\u003c\/strong\u003e The primer valve controls fuel priming flow in the fuel system on Johnson\/Evinrude outboards, and the 18-7044-1 kit provides the replacement ball valve for that circuit when the original wears out or leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988360409307,"sku":"SIE-18-7044-1","price":16.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-7044_lg__00066.1558356186.500.750.jpg?v=1785189125","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-7044-1-service-valve-kit-for-johnson-evinrude-primer-valve-outboards-replaces-oem-437228","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
