"Hi, Can anyone tell me the y

"Hi, Can anyone tell me the year of this Sea King? We're trying to determine fuel mixture. Model is 15GG-9015. Serial# 396597. Any other pointers welcome. Hasn't been started for 20+ years. Thanks. Judson"
 
"Judson, nice motor - it's

You can mix modern unleaded gas 24:1 with TCW3 rated 2 cycle marine oil and you should be fine.

Suprisingly most tune-up/maintenance parts are still very much available for these (carb kits etc)...."

The motor however, is almost certainly a Chrysler. They were the only builder (in that era) that produced a horsepower in that size for Montgomery Wards..."
