I replaced the fiber washers with leak free nylon washers. I still have the float needle problem so I will need to remove the carb cap to access the float hairpin.
I found an incorrect NOS float needle on eBay and purchased it. I will have to shorten it and move the pin groove to make it work, but it’s something.
And…I dropped the prop in a deep old tin washtub with water above the gearcase, hit the primer a few times (with the fuel off as it’s dumping out the top) and pulled the cord three times. It started up and sounded great! I left it in neutral because it’s a really small oval washtub. I can’t wait for a real test. Unfortunately with the float needle issue I won’t have the opportunity to put it on the boat this summer. I may try polishing the grooves out of it. Worst that happens is it still leaks.
