    Careful. I bought one similar. Looks like this has a plastic float. I used it in a 1958 5.5 hp Johnson and couldn’t get it to run right to save my life. The float was sinking and flooding the carb, and the gaskets disintegrated almost immediately.

    I ended up getting an OMC kit and it ran perfectly. Video link below.
