Force 5HP replacement carburetor

[tijzwa]

Hi guys,

I've recently bought a force outboard (5Hp, 1991) for 100 euros. Seemed like a great deal at the time. Unfortunately the main nozzle broke when I was cleaning out the carburator.

I cannot find any replacement parts in The Netherland. I can order them in the USA or UK, but with shipping costs it's not worth it most of the time.
Thats a shame, because the outboard seems quite good and has not much wear.
It's a Tillotson HO-04B.

Does anyone have any expierence with replacing the carberatur with another aftermarket one?
Thanks for the help!

the aftermarket carbs have been primarily not worth even looking at as the quality is not there.

I see, conversion to a more common Mercury carb like the 803819T1 would be the way.

Maybe someone has experience with this..?
