        He has some serious health issues and will be out of commission for some time.

          Here’s another source for the leather washers:

            They look like they would be pretty easy to make with some hole punches? I suppose most of the battle is locating a compatible material.

                Also, an "O" ring above the plunger cavity is an easy way to provide a good seal for the plunger. Give that a try. The leather washers are sometimes difficult to remove and replace.

                  Try vintageoutboard.com
                  I just ordered the leather seals for my TN 28 couple of days ago.
