1945/46 Sea King 3hp outboard motor model 64GG9005

[67fastback]

Well I just bought this motor, guy said it was either 1945 or 1946 Sea King 3 hp engine. He said it ran about 3 or 4 years ago but takes about 40 pulls now to get it going .. never tried. What should i do first to try to get it going? What is the oil/gas mix? should I rip it all aprt to clean the carb? Is there a downloadable owners manual or parts diagram anywhere?

thanks in advance... if I get it running Ill put up vids of it running... need to get it running before the end of the months fishing trip....

Hi all this is my first day here. I too have a wards sea king 54gg9011 made by gale (254a). I was wondering if I could get that parts list also or if I could get some advice on where to find a service manual. Thanks

Here is the 1951-1963 service manual. Pretty similar except for the magneto.

Yeah it was over the plate but not knowing the motor did not have a neutral (damn it) it just flung all the water out..so i shut it off...

Be sure it actually pumps water.The "impeller" has been known to swell with age. If your planing a fishing trip a new "impeller"
would be a smart move. The "impeller is sometimes referred to as a wobbler.
For testing get it set up so the water is up to the mounting bracket like it is on a boat,a good deep barrel.
Water will stay in better if you rig some sort of cover.
