Ok got a boat for a deal, the motor doesn't work. I can get it to run briefly but then it dies.
I have found this to be a 1960 Sea King Model GG8822A Gale Products, Montgomery Ward.
I dont know a thing about this motor. No clue on gas to run or anything.
Where do I start to figure out what to do with this thing? I have been tinkering but it seems like I make it worse. Plus I have no idea what any of the knobs do on the controls.
I have sprayed carb cleaner into the gas line which seemed to help a bit but its still not running without dying. Pull cord broke so I had to replace that, and then the inner spring broke on the end so I had to do a rig job and replace the loop on the end. It seems to slip sometimes as well when pull starting.
Is this something I should take to have fixed by a pro, and what might the cost be?
