Where to buy ted Williams outboard motor parts?

Answer 1

My Husband bought a old Ted Williams outboard motor and needs to buy some carb parts since the float is sticking making the motor flood out. It is Old 7 HP the tag reads as:640-18 tecumser 7866973. We would like any information you have regarding this motor. Thank you for your time. Edie Harrington

you should be able to get a parts diagram and parts from sears.com

I have a 6hp. Ted Williams needing a water pump (impeller), I called Sears directly and they had NO parts or info about or any idea about Ted Williams motors.

Eska made these engines sold by Sears so you will find lots of info on the web if you search for Eska. Tecumseh made the powerheads for Eska, and the carburetors were made by Tillotson.

Boat Sport and Tackle will have what you need:

But the carb is Tillotson as used on millions of lawn mowers, so you can get most of the carb parts from any small engine shop. The boat motor carbs have a little fuel pump on the side that the lawn mowers do not, so the pump parts will need to be ordered from the above vendor. There is a little red rubber bladder that is the part usually needed... known as the pump element.

The usual problem with a sticking float is actually the needle and rubber seat. The seat is down in a bore, and easy to overlook. Use an 11/64" drill bit as a gauge to set the float height.
