I am looking for three carburetor kits for these Tillotson WB8B carburetors (333061-1). Can anyone suggest where to look?

:grumpy: OK, ordered kits for the three carbs, decided I would clean what I had by using some carb cleaner in a gallon bucket. Soaked and cleaned all three after disassembling each - problem - I didn't make a note of which carb came from what cylinder :facepalm:, also removed fuel inlet ports from all three before removing so now I have to problem of figuring out which carb came from which cylinder :confused:. Are there any tell tail signs I could look for making that job a tad easier? :blue:

Usually the only difference is the fuel inlet and the roller for the throttle.
​#2 and #3 are a bit different than #1 for the fuel.

​Just because the new were "restored" doesn't mean anything.
Take the bowl off anyway and check the float level and drop.

Thank you Jerry that was a move I had considered and now you have affirmed that for me. Another question please?
Timing the outboard and have notice two marks on the flywheel, one says 36 the other says 10. The 10 is 10 degrees before the 36 degree mark. Which is TDC? I know max timing is 36 Degrees on most all engines but this setup calls for 32* before TDC at WOT. How do I find TDC, simple gauge TDC by the piston at its max high point, ok but that says on the flywheel as 10* as seen in these pictures.

Isa4325.... That is not 10 it is 0. The line that looks like 1 is the zero mark.
The distributor is also correct adjusted, the curve is follow the outer rim of the flywheel.

Thank you Nordin and I assume the TDC is in the tooth cutout and not on the tooth.
