Where to find parts for a couple 50+ year old 2cycles

[BSFlinn]

Hi All

I’ve recently picked up a couple small 2 cycle outboards, a 1970 3.5hp Viking, and a 1971 5hp Sears and am looking for help finding parts, preferably new.

Is there any chance of finding parts?

Thanks

New Old Stock parts may be out there, but finding may not be easy. Firs a question, what parts do you need and why do you need themn,,,to make them run or restore to like new?
Do a careful evaluation of each outboard to determine condition.
Many old outboards were put away for a reason and many issues can arise during storage. I do not have the advantage of in person inspection of your outboards nor
do I know you experience and resources, Both your outboards were made by other firms for sale
by retailers so you may first need to solve the the Who Done It

217 is Sears Source Code for ESKA
Many retailers sold ESKA ourboards under their store brand,
Viking is also a store brand, but, photo of ID tag is a bit too dark to read. Someone probably acquired ESKA inventory when they closed, The Viking may or may not be an ESKA model.
Good Luck

Managed to find carb kits for both at Discount Marine, reasonable prices too.
