I dug around and found some carbs. The MK 50 used a fuel bowl and carbs without internal filters. On the manual start model the bowl mounted to the lower left of the carbs. On the electric start it mounted just above the magneto. The early MK 55 had filters on the top of the carbs and no fuel bowl.
If you got the model with electric start and choke then you had a starter with a mounting bracket on the side for the choke solenoid. If I remember right the early MK 55 had the same starter as the MK 50 but without the bracket and the choke solenoid had been relocated. I researched this motor and hunted parts for two years then had to put it on hold. After looking I didn’t realize I had as many parts as I do.
