Can anyone advise me the matching carburator to increase my 7.5 Sea Horse model AD-12?
By going to a large carb, what is the max HP I can obtain?

Less than 7.5hp and lousy running. It takes more than a carburetor to make horsepower. You probably will only succeed in making it slower.

put on a Tillotson HR series from EJ creations modified for methanol, re-shape your exhaustd ports to "D" shape, Skim the head to get about .036" squish, make some reeds from .018" thick G-10 epoxy-glass and bend open the stops, open up the holes under the reeds as much as possible, run 5% nitro, 10% castor, 85% methanol, use a racing prop, and hang on!!!

Seriuosely however , there is little other than the racing mods mentioned above plus the correct prop, and a tune up which will give you any more power. On neglected engines, a de-carb and tune up can often give you a 20% boost in power.
