Need an air breather for 1978 Force outboard

[downs]

I recently bought a 1978 VIP with a 125 Force outboard 1258V7A model. I didn't realize at the time of purchase that the motor didn't have a air breather on it. Any idea where I can get one or other options. Thanks

First, it is either not a 1978 or not a Force because Chrysler did not sell to Brunswick until 1984.

Second, what air breather? Force and Chrysler 4 cylinder engines simply have a black plastic carb cover to control spit-back

Ok, well I posted the model number and it matches everything else i've found regarding Force. The engine cover says force. I'm aware of the date line regarding Chrysler and US Marine. I'm still looking for the correct part for the carbs. I don't know what that is.

Your engine comes up as:

If you look under Carburetor at item 32, this may be what you are referring to.
