Re: owners manual, fuel mix and any other info

Is it possible that is 2790 That would be a 69 built by
Chrysler.It appears the 69 was the last year for the 9.2. Champion J4J plug at .030. Points set at .020.
24:1 fuel mix.Tillotson MT-97A carb.A Chrysler manual would serve you well.

if this engine has been sitting, go to the engine faq forum, and read "Awakening a sleeping outboard"

You said your number was VWB 29909A I only find VWB 27909. My book doesn't list the prefix or sufix letters.prefix VWB indicates a West Bend or Chrysler built motor.Chrysler bought West Bend in 65 thus it
is a 69 9.2 hp.built by Chrysler based on their 9.9.Is it possible you miss read the number as 29909?

Re: owners manual, fuel mix and any other info

I was only able to find VWB 299091 ('69 9.2hp). Perhaps the fellow setting up the punches was a little off that day. Wouldn't be the first time!

Like any other outboard, it'll need it's impeller replaced every few seasons regardless of use. I'm sure tashasdaddy just didn't want you to ruin it by overheating.
