Man, Brian....your expensive, I gotta raise my rates.....but I'm a "mig" guy. I like to keep my left hand free to "scratch my head"......do that alot lately.
Try Tim's Outboard in Hackensack MN. Have model # ready. 2186822331.
Thanks Tim but I'm in Australia. You guys have good prices and good part availability unlike us.
I am going to see if I can find an outboard of that vintage first that's not working and then strip it.
How 'bout put a nice strong screw in there with a sleeve to bring it to proper diameter. That "tab" doesn't really have to be oval shaped.
