I have a '52 johnson 5hp and the carb is leaking bbadly where the primer button/fuel adjustment(?) goes into the carb... I'm not seeing any carb kits in the iboats store...does anyone have info on where to get parts for this motor? Or tips for fixing this? Motor given to me by my Grandpa and hope to pass it on to future generations.
ps. years ago someone told parts can't be found for this and I bought a whole other motor for parts but still would like to have fresh gaskets ect.
EDIT
OK... figured out how to do pics... so thought before I tear it apart I'd post a couple to see if (hopefully) it's simplier than a rebuild (I want to be fishin' a few miles out on Lake Erie tomorrow!)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
2nd EDIT...
Here is the respose from Lloyd at aomci... sounds great I'm sending my $6!!
If your old Johnson drips fuel from the carburetor when you push the primer, you need these seals and instructions. If you have tried rubber O-rings or other materials, you already know they won't work. These are new seals made from pump leather, as original, and fit all old 5hp, 4.2hp, and 2.5hp Johnsons including Models TD,TN,AT,LT,DT,HD,HA,HS, etc. Includes detailed diagrams and instructions for proper installation that are not found in the Factory Service Manuals. The instructions alone are indispensable. Not necessary to remove carburetor. Send $6.00 cash only and SASE (self adressed stamped envelope) to: Lloyd Lautner, 9289 North Long Lake Road, Traverse City, Michigan 49684 Stop leaking and keep yourself and the "tree huggers" happy!
