Anyone know where I can find a pair of the plastic rods….well they look like rods, but appear more like antennas, that are attached to the motor? I heard they no longer make them. Thank you in advance.

Balance tubes or fuel manifold they are on each side of the block behind the carbs?
Use this link https://epc.brp.com/Index.aspx?lang=...-4f28b0b531c6# to look up the reference number and part number then come back with your results. If the parts are what is mentioned by Championman, there may be an alternative assembly process. What is wrong with the existing parts?
My boat guy says they are difficult to come by and if they go I may be S O L.
I tried to post a pic but I could not make the file smaller. But thats What I believe they are.

Yessir…that’s it
These can be reconfigured with common small brass tubes and fittings from your local hardware store. They do not need to be plastic.
There are also plastic fittings and hoses that will work too they just need to be fuel
resistant.

Twitch, can't see how your comment helps anybody.
Just putting it out there that they are very hard to come by as it is with alot of older parts for johnsons that is all I meant, sorry you didn't like the post
No you’re absolutely right. My boat guy said the same thing. I’m very torn. Do I sell my 2003 Champ…or do I sell it and get a Hobie? Getting a used boat for what they are going for now seems like ludicrous.

Buy a good used motor & keep the champ since you adore it. Easy choice to me.
