Tillotson MS 113A looks fairly complete. I believe Ferguson Poole may have some minor items. Bob Grubb may be able to help.
1940 was 80 years ago on the other side of a wold war. My experience
in hunting down parts for MS113A makes me believe the best
and perhaps only source is another MS 113A or a closely related
model. Float bowl gasket can be made using accurate ruler and drafting
compass measure carburetor bowl opening, then transfer and mark
gasket stock.. The fuel inlet gaskets may also be reverse engineered.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Good Luck

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Great video Tubs.

Benji, let us know what you find out in your search for parts. Others here (me included) may have a similar carb to work on.

green-thumbs—I found Bob Grubb’s info in AOMCI directory but can find no info on Ferguson Poole. Do you have contact info for him?

I have a couple of rebuild kits for a MB107 of the same time frame. Bought them from Ft.Rucker abt 20 years go — not sure if they’re usable for your carb — you’re welcome to them.
