Side note - I saved the otter at Tomlins from destruction. It is now safe and sound at my shop.

IF you were fast about two years ago JACK had three, two nice ones and then your blue one. The guy in you bought this off in CANADA took the two super nice ones and left this one at jacks.

But I am surprised that you say you saved it, my understanding is that you bought it from the above guy......and it would of never been destroyed, just FYI

I also got one of the ones in Canada. I say I saved it because he(Greg) was going to part it out. Once I saw it in person - I think it is good enough to restore as well.

Here is the second Otter I bought. Very nice machine and very complete overall. This one came from Alaska a few years back - I purchased it from Greg in Canada.

I have a lot of old military parts kits most still in copper lined bag. I was told they might be fuel pump rebuild kits for the Otter.

This is exactly what the front of the box says

2910-625-9297-G245
PARTS KIT
1-Each
ORD. NO.7974003
DA-11-022-ORD-3396
MOTORESEARCH CO MFG/CONTR
PART NO. 68162
A IA15 8/60


The content of each box is

diaphragm Part # FP-923
Valve plate and seats P# FP-911
valve P# FP-904
valve gasket P# Fp-903
valve spring FP-900
Rocker arm spring Fp-914
mounting flange gasket FP-917
Spring clip FP-906
Screw and lock washer valve plate FP-927
Linkage FP-910
Diaphragm FP-901
cover screw and lock washer FP-920
Rocker arm pin FP-905

I am not positive that is what these are but, was told the G245 in the top number referred to the Otter. Can anyone confirm this? If you can send me a Message. Duster215@yahoo.com
