ESKA Identification and Repair Help

[Firejunkie]

Hello everyone, I am looking for some help identifying my ESKA brand outboard. Here is the information I have from the unit.

Motor Tag : T-634-07D
4872849

Model# is worn away but here is what I can make out. 11?2 B
Serial # 10186

I guessed at the third number and used a four to make the model #1142B. I looked on the recommended site to identify these motors. I could not find an Engine number with the -07D, just -07.
From what I can tell I have a 1965 Golden Jet 5hp. Can anyone help to verify this? I bought the motor with a small boat last year and used the motor for about a total of five hours. Then in the middle of running across the lake, it died. It would start for a minute or two and die again. Took a long time to get back to the dock.:facepalm: Since then it still will not stay running. It will fire and start for mere seconds. I wanted to fix this motor and continue to use it on my duck boat. Any suggestions and in formation would be greatly appreciated. I have read back two pages on the other posts in ESKA threads and have gotten some good information. Thanks for all that so far.

Mahty Maht,
Thanks for the link to a very good diaghram and parts list. What a huge help that will be!

I took the carb apart and cleaned it up last night. I also cleaned up the water cooling tube to the lower unit, put new gear lube in the lower unit, and just cleaned up the whole motor. What a difference! Tonight I'm going to try running the motor in a barrel, and set the carb settings.
I still have a few issues to tackle once I get this stuff taken care of. I have a gear housing gasket leaking, a shut off fuel fitting leaking, and need to find the female fuel fitting to hook on the remote fuel tank. Any ideas on where to find a good place to get parts for the lower unit?
You all have been a great help and I will let you know how the test run goes. Hopefully well!

Get part numbers from the exploded view, and call the 800 number here;

Also, parts are available from these guys;

I wonder if the drive shaft seal is leaking instead of a gasket.
