"Thanks Bob,Parts arrived toda

"Thanks Bob,Parts arrived today and seem to be correct other than they are not brass.Maybe aluminum? Got engine running today also. It ran sorta rough and would smooth out as it reved up then stumble and die.Fooled with screw with spring, and didnt note much change unless it was screwed all the way in.Would it be ok to opperate engine out of water for short times if it's left in neutral as it only pumps water while in gear?...Thanks again"
 
"you can use marine gear lube.

"you can use marine gear lube. it is typically 80 - 90 weight and you can buy a small tube or a quart. You remove both screws (the fill and the vent above it) and fill from the bottom buy sqeezing the tube or pumping the quart with a hose into the fill hole. Pump until it comes out the vent hole.

i just did mine
