Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />Here is a real good source for information...<br /> http://www.discount-marine-parts.com/ <br /><br />The manual is going to be tough. I see them on eBay on occasion. That one was made by Eska. I believe the powerhead is a Tecumseh.

Re: 7.5 ted williams

I just purchased a 1973 ted williams 7.5. the model number is 217-5949-0. It ran fine at first, but then it would not stay running. It would fire up, and then run for a few seconds and die. I can pump the ball for the fuel, and if the motor is tilted up, the fuel runs out the carburator. any sugestions on what my problem is with the motor? thanks.

Re: 7.5 ted williams

I had the same problem. I changed the plug and now it runs fine. still leaks gas out of the carb so i ordered a rebuild kit from discount marine parts. Hopefully i can fix the leak. because other then the leak the motor runs great.
