BRP carb kit P/N 439071 will come with everything you need (except the filter) to rebuild the carb including an ethanol resistant gasket, float, and packing washers.

Will that kit work on a 1952 14hp Erude? I think my 14 is a Tillotson carb, is a 15hp carb OMC?

Yes,
Please clean the fuel system, great motors at 67 pounds. I have some parts if you need too. I’m on my second Fastwin & have everything to build a new powerhead too. One of my favorites. Run it the rings will free up! Please fill the gearcase with 90 hypoid oil.

Thanks Mumbles, good to know there’s parts available if needed.
I see in someone else’s post that the Sintered fuel filters were
said to be "Problematic for fuel starvation". I’m guessing
that’s my problem. As I was cruising, and it started to bog out,
if I’d pump the primer on the fuel tank, the engine would pick
back up again. The tank seemed to be plenty "pressurized",
so I don’t think it’s the tank or crankcase pressure bleed
causing the problem.
I see the little "thimble" sized sintered filters are still available.
Has anyone found a non-sintered replacement that fits
in the sediment bulb?
I suppose I could just leave it out and add an inline filter
before the carb, if there’s room.

Prepare to be boarded!

I think the inline filters are a good option as they are readily available and inexpensive. There is usually enough room to tuck one in somewhere.

I have good performance with sintered filters. Get them clean with air conditioning evaporator cleaner. Comes in a qt size & soak in a pill bottle over night, then repeat. It is made for soft aluminum & makes them like new. Also pull the tank pick up out to check it for contamination as well. Don’t let it run dry as it has no lub without fuel & oil @ 16/1 mix. Or read on the inside cover & mix 5 gallons to 1 qt of premix oil. I ran mine for 3 years on 5 gallons & 1 Qt, Never had any issue. But then again it’s per factory instructions.Same mix every time too.

Thanks Jeff, I’ll research the evaporator cleaner.
I’ve run the Fastwin on 16:1 so far.

Update: I researched the air conditioner evaporator cleaners.
According to the MSDS, the main ingredient is Caustic Soda
or Sodium Hydroxide, commonly found in drain and oven
cleaners, which might me more available locally to me
in the boondocks.

Granny used to mix a little of that up out by the Cement Pond.

The filter can be problematic….If you suspect the filter, simply run the engine without it for a bit to see if it still starves for fuel…
I would keep mixing at 16:1 while doing these tuner treatments. I would run the engine, then do another soak job after shutting it off, let it sit for a day or so, then run again….Recheck compression after a few more treatments, be sure to check compression only after running for awhile to make sure all the extra oil/fluid soaking in the engine is not affecting the readings.

The evaporator coil cleaner is quite easy on the hands. It will not hurt the filter either. It is made to clean very fragile aluminum coils & isn’t caustic in any way. That is why it works so well. I know when mine are clean running water thru it as the filter flow increases by 300% when it is clean. Just let it dry & use. Also by far has nothing to do with concrete but it sure works on filters. Please try it before you knock it. I realize
it is new to others & expected some resistance as humans resist change. I’m sorry if you don’t try it as it does the job very well. You can have the soap box, I’m done trying to help.
