"It is a 1960. It uses a J-6J (or its replacement)spark plug gapped at .30, points set at .20, and 1/2 a pint to the gallon fuel/oil mixture. Some will tell you that with today's better oil that you can use less oil in the mixture, but I wouldn't take that advice. Unless someone can confirm otherwise, I've heard that these motors have brass bearings in them (I do NOT know for sure as I have not taken one apart). I found this info in "The Old Outboard Book", so the credit goes to the author. If you are into old outboard motors at all, it is great reading.
Hope this helps."
