Hi, Steven.<br /><br />Welcome to iboats! <br /><br />The TD-20 Johnson was made from 1946 to 1949. A 1941 5.0hp would be a TD-15.<br /><br />I suggest that you overhaul the carb. You probably have shrunken and maybe cracked gaskets and seals. The float needle could also be stuck.<br /><br />If you haven't done it yet, replace the water pump impeller as well.<br /><br />You should be able to order parts through any JohnnyRude dealer or NAPA Auto Parts store.<br /><br />Unless you are very experienced with the TD series, you need a Repair Manual.<br /><br />You can get a Johnson Factory manual from www.kencook.com or a good aftermarket manual here: http://www.boatmotors.com/manuals.html <br /><br />Good luck.
