No such animal. That carb is obsolete. 1953 was the last year for that carb. You will have to make the gaskets yourself.

Yea, it looks like they're only showing a bowl gasket for the QD14, but if you get that and just clean up all the rest of the stuff, you should be okay. These old Johny/Rude carbs respond well, to a thorough cleaning. Inspect all parts and see that there is no damage and you should be fine. If you really need packing, for the needles, then you can also try Seaway Marine in Seattle or Engine Blade and Prop. Hope this helps

Thanks for your advice everyone, I did strip and clean the carby due to some dirty fuel issues - however, since then I have a problem with the carby continually flooding. I have triple checked all the obvious possibilities - however, I still have the same issue.

SO, the next step was to rebuild the carby to see if this resoves the issue.

However, I will strip it again and check everything again

I'll bet your needle and seat have a tiny piece of crud in them and are keeping it from completely sealing. Can you feel your primer button firm up nice and hard when the carb. bowl fills? If not, then it's most likely the needle and seat.
Good luck,
JBJ

yea, I agree with jbjennings. Also, you might check and make sure your float level is good and your float has good boyancy. The older cork floats tend to soak up gasoline.
