Hello everyone, new boater here. I have inherited this engine and know basically nothing about it (or any other outboards). My questions are about the fuel system, specifically how to hook it all up, and what ratio of mix to use. I need to know where to attach the fuel line and anything else I may need to hook up. Included are pictures of the ports in question. Also, does this engine have a kill switch?

Ports are circled by different colors to make it easier to communicate.

Thank you for your time.

Welcome
My guess would be the one in yellow. Could use some low pressure air and blow into it

Found a place to get the Manual

Thank you for the helpful advice and links. Have any idea what the other ports are for?

Post model m amber and serial number so the motor can be better identified. Had a couple Sea King out boards in my youth, smaller 5 hp. Motors...great engines but mine had built-in tanks. Good luck in your search.

I posted all the numbers I could find at the top of this thread. Attached is a picture of the identification plate if that helps...
