58-59 Johnson Sea King

[williamsunderwater]

I picked up an old Sea King for less than a song. I'm not sure of the hp of it. I need to order some parts but am not certain of the year and horsepower. I was wondering if someone could help me identify it. The model is FO-13, the serial is 1900040

FD-13 is a 1959 18Hp. That's the closest I could find. Probably not a Sea King, but a Sea Horse. Sea Kings were made by Gale and others for Montgomery Wards.

WBW was typing while i was researching,. they are great engines, easy to work on, I just bought a 1958 35 Johnson, and sold a 1955 15hp that ran better than new ones. also it need the 2 line pressurize tanks, and 24-1 oil fuel mix. here' a link to another thread that pertains to your engine. read it and the links also.
