That end plate you may have more luck getting that and a couple of seals run the serial number on line for the motor find the name of that plate and chase that number and the seals do you actually still have a visible anode on your lower unit it should be around the cavitation plate somewhere held by I or 2 bolts
better yet give me the make model hp and serial number and I will look for you right at the moment I don’t think you need a full lower

Suggestion
get a propane torch turn the gas on don’t light it run the nozzle around all your fuel lines next to the carb not the throat with the engine running if you have a suction leak somewhere the propane will make the motor rev higher don’t worry you won’t blow up
check that your fuel tank is venting
if it’s an old fuel line from the tank spending the money and buy a new one I don’t think your issue is worth taking to a shop check the idle setting as well it sounds like an easy fix
and throw some SEAFOAM in with your gas
hope this helps a bit

I’m working on a deck on that side and I’m going to box it in somewhat I will be able to close it quite a bit and still get the push and pull I need for heat transfer
its in the plan
I do have a sheer issue as well as chill issue living on the coast it just happens that predominately it runs 90 degrees to my pump which is not helpful and a normal winter day is 25kts + with sustained days above 50 of course the nor’easter that are always lurking and plentiful
yes bad choice of words possibly but at the root they are hyped just a little to much
in hindsight site should have just gone with propane right from the start to back the wood burner up.

I’ve got a Lennox same same 10 year warranty blah blah blah all run on the exact same concept different parts maybe maybe not but one thing that is not changeable are the laws of thermodynamics and you can only strip so much heat out of -20 and below air add in wind sheer and there is not a lot left it’s like going nowhere in neutral
I’m really not for or against when it’s really howling here it spends a lot of time in defrost it just can’t handle the environment well where we are I don’t use it to cool and I would not recommend one to any body
in the reservoir for the cylinder, it should have a pick-up tube, possibly with a filter, check that, and also it could have a bypass valve that may need adjusting
Any body on here use a prop guard on low hp motors ie
