You might be right....there used to be many of those online that are the inexpensive. I'll do some more digging. Your motor has the Deutsch connectors right?

Here is an aftermarket one. You must have a converter plug. https://www.ebay.com/itm/187570326276?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooKG5FBOHEMnp8MzNddOtsiOVTjDONyqk6R13v8CFm_Nng2u4Gy4ho&com_cvv=8fb3d522dc163aeadb66e08cd7450cbbdddc64c6cf2e8891f6d48747c6d56d2c

Easy to tell, I always confirm.

Well if your "jonesing" for fish...and their biting, no price is to much.

The shifter cable moves first before throttle cable moves. Typically it's easy to determine before you put it back on the engine side.

Buy a used (bad powerhead) parts motor. Should be lots around. Many years and hp ranges have them.

You said sometimes it starts.....you showed us when it won't start, show us when it does. Otherwise put a little fuel in each hole and see if it roars for a second, otherwise I'd start looking at electrical. Rule out whether it's fuel or not.

I bet she was a lot of fun with many fond memories!

Electric start typically has an electric choke, must be a tiller. If you have any sparks you should fix that. Carb should be 1 1/2 turns out from lightly seated. Any more than a quarter turn either way typically means something's wrong.

"but it cut a grove in the flywheel" Explain more.

Could be your steer tube nut is to tight or it just needs help. Put it in the water and run it and see what it does.

Most likely you now own 2 dead outboards. Always take one with you to purchase a motor.

Show us a video of you trying to start it. Knob is not nessesary really, how many turns out are you? Did you use OEM parts when rebuilding the carb? Install a new ground wire...is the neutral switch working correctly? Electric choke moving? Answers these questions and we can see what we can offer.

Did you do a compression test?

Two different theories.... My uncle was a true motorhead and outboard guy. Learned a lot from him. I've always stuck to his rule and my outboards go a long time. Either way, good oily mix and no full speed until hour down with your hours. Or, buy an E-tec and their already broke in when you...

My uncle, former Evinrude dealer always said to vary the throttle as well. Do not keep it at one speed for more that 60 seconds.

Cylinder walls are roached. Brown gaskets are better. I feel for you...

The last outboard machine shop closed their doors last year in our area. You will have to look long and hard on where to send and parts that need machining.

Yes I live in Seattle, the Washington state/Oregon area has tons of outboards. Should be a fairly easy find.

Odds are in your favor if someone is selling a motor or just a gearcase it's probably not bad. If it sounds and smells fishy...that's all you need to know. No one would probably deny you a quick vac test....compression...yada yada
