"Hello all, I recently acquire
"Hello all, I recently acquired 1973 Ted Williams 7.5hp outboard Model#217-5889-0, Twist grip throttle, clutch drive, air cooled.
Does anybody know who mfg. this motor?
I found a recommended fuel mix of 24:1 is this good enough or should I use a 50:1 mix.
When it comes to the lower gear lube how do i change the lube and what is the proper lube to put back into it and how full do i make it? (note there is a vent and fill screw)
There is some oil residue on the area by where the prop connects, is this normal? could it be caused by running with out being in water? even though it says air cooled the lower gear still needs to be submerged to keep cool is that correct?
Thanks a lot for the Help.
Erik"
