Johnson seahorse 1965 ?

[155truck]

I bought a Johnson 6hp seahorse off a freind,it was just laying on the floor in the corner of his garage w/junk piled on it.Didnt get a manual or any information on it. Model # CD-22M , Serial # J 2526682, I think it's a 1965 but not sure, can anyone tell me if I'm right on the year an need to know the fuel mix and spark plug gap. Thanks for your help.

your is a 1965 manuals http://www.outboardbooks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=models.main&year=1965&ID=55753

fuelil 50:1 TC-W3 outboard motor oil. great motor. i have the 1966 version. starts 1st pull warm,, 3 cold.

it will probably need coil, points, condenser, plug wire, carb kit, and water pump. around $200, if you so the work. easy motor to service. i just redid mine.

Thanks Tashasdaddy,I did get the motor set up in garage this evening.Put a 5 gal. bucket of water under it,mixed some 34:1 fuel and it fired 3 to 5 pulls sounds great.Awesome, I'm going to take your advice on the oil and check the other things out to.Thanks for your advice.

Re: Johnson seahorse 1965 ?

you need a bigger bucket!! the water has to come 1/2 up the leg for the water pump to prime. your oil mix is 50:1. i use a garbage can.
