hello all, thank you for reading this post. I have an old
boat that is from the 50's i believe. my father had said it was a ward seaking, with a westbend engine. there are no names on the engine. It is a 2 cylinder 2 cycle, the carburetor is a tillotson 0 M 7 B. several different numbers on the engine:
40518-8
40222
97010
I need info on this engine and and where I can find parts for a carb or a new/rebuilt one. Thanks in advance,

Look for model numbers on the mounting bracket also sometimes on the lower portion of the power head.
All models use OM carbs.
I'm pretty sure carbs after 63 have fixed high speed jets.
Typical larger motors were 30,35 40,45,50,hp.early motors used H8J with J4J appearing on 40 and 45 in 59.
64/65 35,45,50 hp. motors use J4J Champion plugs.
West Bend was purchased by Chrysler c.1965.Eventually becoming Force c.85. Possibly late WestBend and early Chrysler may share parts.

I recently found a factory kit for a Tillotson carb from Franz Marine, who is a link on chryslercrew.com. His phone # is 816-966-8085. It ran around $30.00, and was shipped out same day. Good luck.
