Sears Ted Williams 7.5 Horse

[Haynan]

Just got a Sears Ted Williams 7.5 HP Model # 21758880, Serial # 202900. Mainly need to know fuel to oil mix and if it's air or water cooled. If anyone knows year manufactured or any known problems to look for, I would appreciate the info.Thanks,Hayes

I had a ted williams 7.5 and it was air cooled. neat little motor that you could rotate 360 degrees for steering as it had no reverse. My little o/b lasted forever and finally was sold(still running) on my skiff that ended up with the name "no wake" . I usually mixed 50:1 on mine and then a good size splash for extra protection. I have seen on here where some of the very old motors needed 25:1, but I believe this was before the sears ted williams came out. Someone will chime in and confirm the ratio for you. Good luck !!!

glad you came along mw.So, your mix is 24:1 and you have a 1972. Aren't these guys great. Glad I was using the extra splash technigue!!!

I just scored a Ted williams sears today at the flea market. Needs a flywheel it looks like. Has onboard tank. It is aircooled. Very Interesting. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it??Tim
