another sea king year and fuelmix question

[fd203]

I hope someonecan help I purchased outboard and need to be educated. the model number is GG9016B and serial # 65X634200 I think its supposed to be 12 HP but I dont know year, also having trouble finding correct fuel oil mix and what type to use, who ever mixed the fuel before me mixed 50.1 and I believe thats to rich becuase it smokes and sputters alot. may need a carb kit put in, can you still find them? and the tiller handle is broke off but I am trying Ebay for that unless anybody has a better place? Thanks.

thanks, the info comes in handy. do you know of any manuals for this particular motor? like how to rebuild carb. and how to adjust the points. I need to do this in the near future.

Re: another sea king year and fuelmix question

A service manual for your motor may be hard to find.Your motor was built by Gale A devision of OMC.There is a chance it shares some design caricteristics with the Evinrude 14 circa 1952.<br /> It also may share parts with the Evinrude 15 circa 1955.It also may be a strictly Gale assembled motor.It does share some specifications.<br /> Champion J6C plugs set at .030,points set at .020.<br /> You may find a reprint service manual at ken cook.<br /> 50:1 is too lean a mix and you will find 24:1 ( more oil)smokes a lot especially in a barrel.

Thanks for the good info, I hate to beat a dead horse and I know some of these questions have been answered before but one more before I throw this thing in the lake. I do have it running but there seems to be a light oil film in the barrel after it runs and idils for 5 or so minutes. dont think its coming from lower unit but im not sure if thats normal for a 2 stroke but i think its coming from exhaust. Ive been a 4 cycle user for a short time before I took this project on. thanks again.

Re: another sea king year and fuelmix question

No, that's normal for a 2-stroke at 24:1. The oil builds up very quickly and is very visible in a barrel, especially if it's been idling. Generally, 2-stroke outboards run very inefficiently between idle and half throttle.<br />Often we get questions from concerned owners about black goo (unburnt oil) dripping from the exhaust. If you have doubts, pick some up with your fingers and sniff. The 2-stroke oil has a neutral or gasoline smell, while lower unit oil has that weird hypoid sulfer stink.
