Hello all. I recently was given a Montgomery Ward Sea king 5hp. Model # 15gg-9015; Serial # 394905. It has been sitting a long time. Upon removing the gas cap I could see the threads are covered in old gummed up gas, what little gas that came out of it was orangeish/brown. I was wondering if this is worth putting a little time and money into, I am fairly handy with a wrench. I could not find a year designation or manufacturer on the motor. Thanx in advance for any help or advice.
<br /><br />The GG in the model number identifies your engine as made by Gale, a division of OMC. It is identical to a Johnson/Evinrude engine of a year or so earlier, except for the paint and decals.<br /><br />It was probably made in the late 50s, so it is a great little engine, worth (to me anyway) bringing back into regular use.<br /><br />I don't have the year. Someone will be along soon who does.
