Please help me identify my "new" motor

Good afternoon, everyone. I just picked up a 1962 12 foot Sears Aluminum boat. It also came with a 7.5 horsepower air-cooled Johnson 2 stroke engine. I would like to get it running again but I need to know what year it is and if parts are still available. The engine tag says J.C. Penney and the model is 1002. The S/N shows to be 57-131362. Any help is greatly appreciated. I can't wait to get this going and take the kiddos out in it!

Ok update, upon digging some more, it looks like this is an Eska 7.5hp 2 stroke with a Tecumseh air cooled power head. I think the model 1002 is a 1975. Anyone have a lead for buying parts such as carb rebuild etc? Looks like I need to rebuild the lower drive part too possibly. I hear these had "water cooled exhaust" and I need to look into replacing the water pump for that. I would also very much appreciate if anyone has a service manual they would be willing to share. Thank you for the help

The JC Penney Catalog and Department Store sold outboard motors from 1965 to 1966 under the brand name of Foremost which were manufactured by Chrysler Marine.
