i have been given an old Evenrude outboard which i hope to use on my 19foot yacht the only details i have managed to find out about the engine is that it is a 10 hp and was made in the 60's can you verify this for me and also i would like to confirm the mixture prior to using the engine.<br /><br />The serial number is 10022 - 50782

Fuel mix is 24:1, Tom.<br /><br />Spark plugs are Champion J4C (replaced J4J) gapped at .030".<br /><br />Points in the magnetos should be set for .020".<br /><br />Good luck.
