You can find several MARINE sources for this carb under the following
reference numbers:
Rochester Products Model Number: 2GC
Rochester Products # 7026180
OMC Carb # 772831
OMC Usage: 155 hp from 1967 - 1972
I believe Sierra still have them as well as others including Mallory
Marine.
Look at it this way -- price of the carb, will be less than a fire!
