I have a 70's Montgomery Sea Ward 7hp motor and today my seal kit arrived so that I could replace various seals and gaskets on it. However after getting everything replaced and screwing the needle into the bottom of the float bowl, after very little pressure, SLIP. The inside of the carb is completely stripped out now.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement carb? Ebay seems to be coming up dry...

Take it to a lawnboy dealer or an old timey mower shop.. Lawnboy used an LMB-173 carb on some models, and my guess is they will have a tap to repair the threads. I know Briggs and Stratton manufactures taps for that very reason on their carbs
