Montgomery Ward Sea King 5

"I have a 1948 5HP Montgomery

"I have a 1948 5HP Montgomery Wards Sea King boat motor. Have had running in a barrel of water and it pushes oil through exhaust into oil a lot. Has'nt run in along time, will this clear up? Where would I get new rings? Where can I get a repair manual or even a motor brakdown picture. Thanks"
 
"Dave, if you have your date c

"Dave, if you have your date correct your motor will have been built by Gale (OMC).

However, this is a 2 stroke, so the oil won't be a result of bad rings. Oil in the exhaust is quite normal. If you have a super excess it's because of either too much oil in the gas or motor is running a little too rich and not burning enough of your mixture up.

You may be able to get a manual from www.discount-marine-parts.com"

"Dawn, that is a 1953 model, built by Gale (formerly a division of OMC).

There are litterally thousands of these old, low horsepower, generics out there. If it is running well it may be worth 50 to 100 bucks, but in most cases they can be picked up for somewhere around 25 dollars.

Their value lies if they are still running and YOU can use it, saving you the cost of a newer motor..."

"Hey Paul. First off, are you

"Hey Paul. First off, are you sure it's gear oil? Could it possibly be unburned fuel and oil making it's way through the exhaust and out the nearest available hole? Just a shot in the dark. If you want, I have an exploded view of a 1968 SeaKing 55HP that I could give you. If you want, click on my name to get my email address and I could send it."

"I recently acquired a Sea Kin

"I recently acquired a Sea King 6 from a relative who said it has not ran in years. Model VWB28906A, Serial 86X10158. I know nothing about this motor. I pulled the plugs and they are clean. I removed the flywheel and everything was clean and shiny, but I filed and gapped the points anyway. I put it back together and there is no spark. Anyone have any ideas? I also would like to know what lube to use in the lower unit and what mixture the fuel should be.

Thanks,

Bill"

"Thomas, your motor is a 1957.

"Thomas, your motor is a 1957. Both you and Daniel need the same plugs. Originally you needed J6-J plugs, now replaced by J6-C, gapped at .035. You need 24:1 fuel/oil (use TCW-3 oil) mixture for these motors."
 
any tips on cleaning my gas ta

any tips on cleaning my gas tank there is a bunch of "crude" on and around the gas cap and not sure about inside of the tank
 
"I've used good quality sc

"I've used good quality screws/washers/nuts - whatever I've had laying around. Shake around until the tank is clean then dump them out. I count how many I put in the tank since a stray can block the fuel line. If that doesn't work, there is also Kreem Tank-Prep and tank sealer, as well as other types of gas tank cleaners and sealers. That is just one brand, but it should give you a good start."
