6hp Johnson Seahorse info

[ricplate]

I inherited a 6 hp Johnson Seahorse when my Grandpa died and it has been unused for several years. The model number is CD-23E, and the serial number is J2667366. How do I -

Find out what year it is?
Get an owners or operators manual?
Verify the fuel/oil mix? I assume it is 50:1 but I am not sure.

Thanks

1966 model

50:1 TCW-3 is recommended by OMC ... some err on the side of caution in the smaller horsepower motors and run at 40:1

Others may comment of sources for manual ...

OEM manuals (the best, but most expensive) at www.outboardbooks.com
Sometimes you can find them on CD's on Ebay.

Seloc or Clymer manuals here at iboats.

do not buy a Seloc or CLymer manual, most who buy them usually end up buying the OEM manual. outboardbooks.com
