7hp Sea King Help!!!
Apr 22, 2020 20:24:58 #
I was just gifted a 7hp Sea King Motor by my neighbor but I have no idea what model it is?
It has a rather square Red and Black motor cover and I've yet to see one like it?
I can't find a stamp, badge or anything on the motor...I haven't tried to start it yet...but I do see that it doesn't have an air filter.
Any help would be appreciated!

Don't start that thing until you know whether it is a two stroke or a four. A two struck MUST have oil in the gas and will simply die forever if it doesn't. A four stroke doesn't do so well with oil in the gas. It is essential you get that answer. It is probably a two stroke.

I had a Sea King 8 HP. It was manufactured by McColluch, it was a two stroke motor 40:1 oil/gas ratio. Big and heavy motor, but was able to troll really slow with it. Could look over the transom and see the prop turn (without a blur).

Trying to upload pics but our internet is running super slow today!
I did find out from my neighbor that it is a 2 stroke engine but he doesn't have any idea what year it is??

depends on how old the motor is most sea king which were sold by montgomery ward were made by chrysler
and if it was take the engine cover off and look at the foward edge under the carb there will bfe a small silver plate with numbers and a couple letters take these and go on line and can find the year model one other thing if it was made by chrysler some where it will say sea king by chrysler I hope this helps
