Has anyone got an odd Mariner 40 carb lying about?

Hi all,

was re-building our mariner 40 after it developed a stalling problem once warmed up and under load. Found top carb to be split near air intake? is this likely to be the cause of stalling under load, or is it more serious?
Does anyone have an old one lying round in 'that' box of bits, that they are prepared to donate?

Cheers fellas
jimmy

p.s its about a 1988 beasty, ex-RNLI, 2 carb, pull start, tiller steer, hope that helps.......?

Can you post a couple of pics of the split from different angles?

It might be possible to fix with liquid metal.
