Richard, the only problem with your ME lists are they are all Sierra list only! While the gearcase seal kits are all you can get is Sierra a lot of members hopefully prefer OEM carburetor kits that have all (floats, etc) parts needed for a full rebuild. That is just my opinion.
While we are here, Mumbles brought up an interesting point. BRP has substituted a complete water pump kit for the 5, 5.5, 6hp OMC engines. I think it covers 1955-79 at least. I am starting to see this kit in older motors I am tearing down. Not sure how long this newer pump has been around, but to service this pump,with just an impeller you will have to know it has this new kit. If it has a plastic impeller housing it will take the smaller impeller #763758. Of course it is imperative this pump not be run out of water at all because of the plastic housing.

Looking at the first link I posted, I see you can get the carb kits with floats….starts about 18 hp or so….
