I have recently purchased an old Johnson Seahorse 10hp from an elderly lady down the road. She claims that she never remembers her late husband ever using it. From looking at the prop and the motor, I would say there is not more than 5 hours on it. The model is QD-16, but there is no year written on it. I cleaned the carburator and changed the plugs. The dang thing fired right up. The problem is that I don't have a book on this motor. Also, I don't know much about changing the leaness or richness of the fuel. What should I run it at? Another thing, the directions on the decal located on the top of the calender says to use 16:1 fuel mix. Is this a bit much? It smokes like crazy while I am running it.
