I Have A 35 Horse Sea King Model #gg8997b, I Need To Know What Is The Appropriate Fuel Mixture. I Think Its A 1959 Gale. I Also Need The Settings For Speed And Idle Knobs

Thanks

Re: 35 Horse Sea King

Reverse the first two numbers of the serial number to find the year of manufacture. Pre-64 is probably 24:1 at least with modern TCW-3 oil. Read the top secret file at the top of this forum for info on making carb and idle settings.

You are correct, it is a 1959. Fuel mix is 24:1. A heckuva arguement can be started over that subject.
