I am replying to this on my cell phone phone and my parts books are on my computer. But I guess what I want to say is that you would be surprised at how many parts are still available on special from places that sell OEM Johnson and Evinrudé parts…IF you go in with the part numbers.. Otherwise they won’t give you the time of the day.
Having said that, there are some parts that are almost always needed and are either NLA or too expensive. But you soon learn to make them yourself. An example might be the leather packing on the carb needle valve. I just make mine by punching them out from an old leather belt. Forget about ordering a “carb kit”. But hey, that’s half the fun in this hobby, right?
Ignition parts are the same as a bazillion other OMC motors and are available everywhere.
No I am not in the parts business but it I have something you need, won’t hurt to ask.
Gotta run for now. Just got a crisis phone call.
