I haven't been here for some time but I'm looking to open the topic of my sea king again if anyone is willing to give me some advice or information reguarding this antique.
I'm looking for a rebuild kit for the carb, it's a tillotson md54a the model and sereal #'s of the engine are 35gg9017a 452528
It is getting way too much gas and a previous owner had made some mistakes inside the carb, bending the high speed idle and stripping the slot on the top of the jet that fills the bowl.. I'll submit a picture of the damage tomorrow when I take the carb apart for ID.
The oil gas mix is very rich in oil and I was wondering if with newer oils I could reduce the mix? it mixes a pint of oil to a gallon of gas. 30 weight oil.
Needless to say, this thing is a smoker! but I love the engine and would reall like to get the most out of it!
