Seaking 7.5 horse questions

I just got a Montgomery Ward Seaking 7.5 horse motor. I know nothing about it. I have spent some time looking around, and I cant find ANYTHING about it. One post I read somewhere, i think it was here, had someone asking about this motor, and the responder said that the model number doesn't even exist. It is a clinton K7503112E type XTV 52276 serial number 563 652 2411. I need to know what gas mix to run in it, and I need to find the gears that link the twist throttle to the actual throttle on the engine, and how to change them out. The throttle shaft comes in sideways, and the shaft it turns is vertical. Both of those gears are messed up. Thanks in advance for any help. This is my first boat, and I'm not having much luck with the motor.

Yes, it looks just like that best i can tell. Its out in the shed at the moment, and we dont have lights out there. It is for sure the clinton, and not the evinrude though. Its also possible about the x vs k, I'll check tomorrow and get back with you. Thanks for the quick reply.

First off, it is for sure an X and not a K. There's a K right above it, and they are no where near the same.

I messed up on the serial number. I had thought I saved it in my phone with the other stuff, but I hadn't. What I had saved in there, was the phone number for clinton that I found on here somewhere. The serial number is 1141020









Here are the gears that need replaced.

I called them, and they have the gears and the service manual headed my way. The bad part is, I ordered it yesterday, and I'm leaving tomorrow for Florida for a week, so it'll be a few days before I get a chance to work on it.
