7.5 Sea King ie-Clinton

[rogham]

I got this for free, Montgomery Wards Sea King 7.5 hp, Clinton Model: K7503107 D Serial: 998113<br />Type: XTV52207<br /><br />I have not tried to run it yet,<br />1. Can I get a manual?<br />2. Can I get parts?<br />3. What year is it?<br />4. From a previous post I understand this type motor is air cooled and runs on chain saw 2-cycle engine oil/fuel mix?<br />5. Generally speaking, is this motor worth the effort or should I just give it to someone else?<br />Thanks!

There's an after-market manual that covers all the off-brand small motors. I can't remember the title, off-hand.<br /><br />Parts are a bit tough on these. You can sometimes find carb stuff at a small engine repair shop. Other than that, it's not easy.<br /><br />You're correct on the type of oil....mixture is either 16:1 or 32:1, depending on year, and I can't tell right away what year yours is.<br /><br />If it runs, it's great. If not, then you're in for some work and parts hunting. These are not all that valuable when they are running, so keep that in mind.

Thanks for the info!<br />I determined that its a 1969. I got it to run, but I couldn't keep it running. I think the carb is gummed-up from sitting. It has good compression and spark.<br />I plan on giving up on it.<br />If anyone is interested in such a motor... pass the word.

Too bad...you can probably get it running again with a little work to clean out the carb. They're not terrific outboards, but they will do the job.
