1959? 50hp V4 model#50518 2stroke or 4stroke?

[sleepingbag]

I just got a 1959 Glastron with a 50hp Evinrude on it. V4. I am new to outboards. The engine model # is 50518, the serial # 05674. Is this a 1959 engine? Is this engine 2stroke or 4stroke? <br />If it's 2stroke I need an oil/gas mixture?<br />If it's 4 stoke do I need to add oil seperately?<br />Do I need any other lube (ie. drive lubricant?)<br />I also want to see if it runs, can I do this out of water using the hose attachment? on the side or do I need to put it in water?

standard muffs wont work to flush it. dont even try. tempo part number 918faa or go to the ole evenrude place. please post more information. has this motor run recently? a water pump kit and shift shaft seals would be a good start. this was a good motor but had some flaws. I owned one for years. hard on gas baby your local citgo dealer will smile . also look into a fuel pump kit. the pump on that engine liked to fail.<br /><br /> good luck and post more info
