There is someone on eBay that makes a lot of gaskets for the pre WW-II motors. You would need N gaskets for the power head, and the gasket for the gear case. I ran one for about a month a couple years ago. As I stated it’s just a bunch of parts from other motors. Not a lot of engineering there. It ran but the muffler seems to be too close to the gas tank, over heating the fuel. I also believe the carburetor is too big for the motor. I had 2 with me and they didn’t make much difference. Of course that only one motor. Others may run just fine. Video https://youtu.be/XPXjFZcMOl8?si=ggCR6Y-rct8Q4yv8
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
