hi Gary, welcome to AOMCI. I wish I had your skills and time ! to restore these oldies like you did.
Just to add to Seakaye12’S comment I would like to caution you also 🙂 The round B&S aka Mikuni round pump are great on lawn tractors with 4 stroke engines. Some have had problems with them reasons related to excessive fuel-oil mix ending up in the pulse line. I have used them myself but can’t say is had problems. I try to resll most of my refurbs .
that said the square Mikunis are apparently the ones to use if ever problems creep up on your beauty or simply mount a regular OMC square pump over a plate ( just line up 2 drilled holes behind the pump)
IF you don’t have a copy yet the Johnson ” bible” red book (or white) is a “must have” see this link.

For 20$ you get a 400 page+ service manual covering just about anything on these oldies (late 40s to mid 60s) carbs, magneto, gear case timing etc…. Just download and have it printed locally and spring bound with plastic cover sheets . make for nice flat reading 🙂
