Greetings everyone. I new here and fairly new to outboards. I had recently traded a fishing rod for a 1953-54 super fastwin 15.
It came with a tank, had spark and compression. I was surprised that when I started it in the tank it fired up on the 2nd pull and was spitting water. It came with gas in the tank, but don't know the mixture of the gas. I didn't want to push it because the throttle linkage had broke and figured it would have emptied the tank if I cranked her up.
After I pulled the carb off, and notices it was ejaculate clean for a motor that had been sitting for years. Even inside the firing chamber. I'm thinking it was rebuilt.
My questions are, can I use the ear muff things instead of a tank on this beast?
Is the fuel mix 24:1 like I've read elsewhere on this forum? People have told me to use 40:1 or 50:1 but with a motor that seems to have been rebuilt I would think what ever the factory recomended.
I think I hit the jack pot on this thing, the fishing rod I traded I actually caught while sturgeon fishing. I ordered the parts for the steering linkage, and they are on the way. I have a 12' smoker craft I was thinking get on using it on, but thing it might be to big.
Any info would be great, I'm fairly new to outboards.
