The odd thing is that the motor lower cowel/pan, has a sticker on it indicating the switch is to change from internal to external fed fuel, and there is a shut off at the choke for fuel supply, but I’m not sure how that would switch the fuel from either place since there is only 1 fuel line feed into the carb.
This motor doesn’t look like a franken-motor either, it looks to be a complete original. The T-valve switch (original) is fit into the lower pan, not some DIY job, so it does look correct for the motor.
Interestingly, the reason why that valve needs to be switched is because it is very corroded/stuck, and someone else did a hack job of simply bypassing the external fuel line in, removed both fuel feeds from either source (internal or external), and just ran a fuel line directly from the internal tank to the carb. The customer wants the ability to use either/or (who can blame him).
The part # reference is very helpful – did you just look at a newer vintage motor to find that?
