1955 Evinrude manual question WHICH MANUAL?

[cvflats]

I just bought a 1955 7.5 Evinrude Fleetwind and i am wondering what manual to get. The seloc only goes back to 1956 and i was wondering if there is a big difference between the '55 and the '56. I think it is pretty close to running anyway. I think that a good carb cleaning/rebuilding should do the trick. its my first venture into outboard repair so im sure im in for some surprises. any tips would be great! thanks

1956 is almost identical. A factory manual is best.
