Glad you got the H motor. I was offline for a few days while driving across the country and completely lost track of the eBay listings I was watching as well as responding on the forum, sorry about that.
The move went ok I guess, definitely not much fun... now the unpacking and getting settled in on top of the new job, etc. It’s definitely going to be a tense next few weeks and to top it all off we are still trying to sell our last home in MN.
I have some diaphragm material. Maybe we can go in together and get a batch laser cut by Eric. It’ll have to be after my move but between us I think we could get 50 or so made.
I’ll second that Just O&R! This group is awesome and Wallfish, Factory and Webhead are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I’m always learning and having fun!
I might be able to help you with a diaphragm too but it’ll be a few weeks since all my stuff is packed up for a move across the country. Just keep us posted what you decide to do. The eBay option with meatballbutch is also a fair price for the gasket, diaphragm and little valve piece if you’re looking to get it quickly.
yes, I was quite bummed when that thing got damaged and lost in the mail because they don’t come up for sale very often. I think I’ve seen 2 NOS adjustment needles come up on eBay over the last year and that was one of them...
I don’t know if any sources for parts other than keeping a watch on eBay. This forum is also great and everyone tries to help each other out whenever possible with spares.
It’s funny and also sad- I bought a NOS needle valve a few months back on eBay but it ended up puncturing a hole in the envelope and getting lost during shipping. All I got was an empty damaged envelop. That was a royal bummer!
Here is my son enjoying running around the Cuttyhunk Island harbor with the small O&R outboard I had. It used to push my 3 kids and and 2 of us easily everywhere.
Nice photo Neons, that’s a beautiful area!

okay, I was looking in the wrong place
I`m assuming this controls the air fuel mixture?
Yes. They’re a little finicky sometimes to dial in.
The largest of the 4 Philips screws in the photo is the one that should be a brass needle valve. It’s the screw that is closest to the heat shield, kind of right near the arm-pit of the heat shield. You can kind of make out the needle valve in the photo that O&R posted.

That’s pretty cool, I hadn’t seen one all polished up like that - that’ll add s little bling to the board...
