You don't need one anywhere near 125 dollars though. A 25 dollar one will do just fine.

Carbs were terribly dirty. Need new needles though, the website listed above says they are obsolete so what're some other website suggestions

Update on the motor, ran good, boats cleaned and spotless, Bimini top still has some spots that could stand to be washed off somehow but no big deal. Now to get the trailer/boat legal/registered
