Aretha Now (2LP)Aretha Franklin had some modest success as a singer of standards and torch songs, during her tenure with Columbia Records in the early and mid '60s, but it wasn't until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she found her true voice, becoming, in essence, the Aretha Franklin the world came to love the Queen of Soul! 1968 was a watershed year for Franklin.

Aretha Franklin had some modest success as a singer of standards and torch songs, during her tenure with Columbia Records in the early- and mid-'60s, but it wasn't until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she found her true voice, becoming, in essence, the Aretha Franklin the world came to love — the Queen of Soul! 1968 was a watershed year for Franklin. In January, she released Lady Soul, one of her finest and most popular albums — a No. 2 record that featured her take on Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" and the immortal "Chain of Fools." She closed out the year with her first live album, Aretha In Paris, performing some of her best Atlantic material in a concert setting. Sandwiched between those two records was Aretha Now, a continuation of the great, grooving R&B she'd made her own since signing with Atlantic. Side One is a flat-out classic. It starts with "Think," the timeless empowerment anthem, with its gospel call and response and "Freedom!" refrain-truly one of the '60s great soul songs. A reinvention of the Bacharach/David hit "I Say a Little Prayer" follows, as Franklin both leads and yields to the Sweet Inspirations, whose harmonies define this new version of the Dionne Warwick hit. A slinky take on "See Saw" leads into Franklin's brassy cover of "The Night Time is the Right Time," taking the sweaty Nappy Brown/Ray Charles bedroom come-on to church, as only Franklin could do it. She also takes a spritely stroll through Sam Cooke's "You Send Me," ending the side on a romantic high. Take a breath before flipping over to Side Two — you're going to need it, not just to recover from the string of knockouts on Side One, but also to marshal the energy you'll need to dance through the up-tempo stunners to come. Roger Hawkins' drums are the first thing you hear when the needle hits the groove-the count in to "You're a Sweet, Sweet Man," which gets the head bobbing. By the time Franklin sprints through the Clyde Otis tune "A Change," you'll be shimmying across whatever floor you happen to be standing on. It all leads up to the album closer, the simmering "I Can't See Myself Leaving You," an R&B chart smash with an understated vocal that should be considered among Franklin's finest performances. Aretha Now was a hit album in its own right, but it's sometimes overlooked, standing as it does in the shadow of Lady Soul. Still, Aretha Now is an effortless-sounding showcase of her range and versatility; portraying her talent for not only elevating any song she sang, but to make it completely hers in such a way that it's impossible to imagine anyone else singing it. This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of Aretha Now , is mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing.Shipping Notes

Honda product and quality.
Do NOT understand why my lawnmower with a Honda engine did not come with a Honda carburetor. Replaced with this Honda carburetor and starts easily. The other carb only lasted 1.5 years.

Worked but not well made. If you need 24 hour turnaround only option.
The housing is 95% identical. Float valve seat is smaller than mercury/quicksilver. The carb I received was stuck wide open. Had to completely pull it apart to fix the throttle. Then the choke didn’t work correctly. So I ended up putting this housing on with all my old mercury carb parts inside. All I needed was a new float valve but they are back ordered indefinitely. So this worked because the housing is correct but that’s about it. Internals were plastic. Not metal. Jury is still out on the jet size. I’ll update if it floods the motor at speed. Seems to be running very rich. If you’re looking for easy, I’d buy the quicksilver that’s tuned for the motor already. The carb I received idled too fast and even if the throttle wasn’t stuck open it wouldn’t have run well with a racing choke (screams air leak because of poor quality)

Throttle pin defective
This carb fits my tohatsu 3.5 hp but the throttle pin is defective. The only way to regulate it running wide open is to choke it out.
