"I just got my Sea King Three
"I just got my Sea King Three outboard from my parents house and would like some information on it. The model# is GG18735B, serial# 26X840967. It was last started about 30 years ago and my father said it didn't run quite right. It's a 1962 3hp model. The most important info I need is:
1. What kind of drive oil do I use?
2. It has a Champion J-6J spark plug in it now. Do I use the same and what gap do I use?
3. What mixture of oil to gas? Regular or Supreme gas?
4. Is it air cooled? If it's not, i'm sure the water pump is shot. How do I get to it and I don't see how it would get water up to the engine? All there is in the lower unit is the drive shaft.
Any help will be most helpful.
