Recently aquired a '65 Shell Lake Lesabre 500 with a '64 Johnson 40 hp. Pulled the carb off last night. It's stuck at half throttle. We'll be cleaning it soon. Looked at the list of carb kits offered and it appears that there is not one available for the '64 Johnson 40hp. What happens if I need parts for this carb? Oh, and where do I get a new neutral safety switch? I almost bought a new solenoid but figured out that the switch wasn't working....now she cranks like the dickens. Thanks in advance for the help!

Those carb kits should be a dime a dozen... That was a very popular engine for about 15 years or so...
