Re: Carburetor Size for Seak King 5HP

[frankr]

I got to thinking also. I have a Gale 5 and a Johnson 5.5 sitting side by side. I see a considerable difference in the powerheads. Of course we all know the Johnson has a removable head, but I also see that the crankcase end is different. A look at the parts books shows that the Gale 5 actually has larger reeds! Imagine that! And they are not interchangable. The bolt pattern is different, and the carb sits higher on one. If I was a bit more ambitious this morning, I probably would have pulled the carburetors for comparison. I might yet.
