Just picked up a 1970 4 HP sears Ted Williams outboard. Mostly just looking for any info available. I literally know nothing about it. Most important question is probably... what is the appropriate fuel mix? Owner told me 15:1 but that seems really odd for a 1970 outboard.
Recommended spark plug?
Anything I should look for as far as problems or anything I should replace immediately? I've been reading around on these forums, looks like a lot of people hate these engines. Read more than a few threads where the advice is "junk it and get a different engine". Why is this? Can I avoid any of these problems?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
