Eaton's made Vikings, so these are Canadian only engines. Naturally, ol' Tim wasn't hammering them together out back, so these are rebadged Chryslers at that point. Model 64801 is a 1968 6hp two cylinder engine. A manual that covers similair year Chryslers will be good for yours too. Someone sent me this from an old Viking owner's manual:<br /><br />Horsepower 6 Brake HP at 4500 RPM<br />Engine two cycle two cylinder, alternate firing<br />Bore and stroke 2” x 1 11/16”<br />Displacement 10.6 Cu. In.<br />Carburetor Float feed<br />Connecting rod Forged Nickel Steel – Uncased needle bearings at crankshaft. Cased needle bearings at piston pin<br />Crankshaft Forged Nickel Steel. Cased upper Main bearing. Bronze lower main, centre main and thrust bearings<br />Propeller Aluminum alloy – 7 ½ Dia. X 7 ½ pitch, Right hand rotation<br />Cooling Water cooled – positive displacement type water pump<br />Transom height 15”<br />Weight 55 Lbs.<br />Fuel mixture 24:1 1/3 pint SAE outboard engine oil to 1 gallon of regular gas – 85 octane<br /> Avoid ‘Premium’ gasolines with 95 octane and antiknock additives<br />Recommended Operating range – 4000 – 5000 RPM

Try Chyslercrew.com for reprints of the factory service manual. I'm not much on Chryslers so hopefully others can recommend good sources.
