Info needed on Johnson sea horse

[dabowhunter]

Hi, I just acquired an five hp Johnson sea horse.<br />model TN26, sn 858034. Can anyone tell me the year of this engine and fuel mix. The built in gas tank seems to have a lot of old grit on the upper inside surface. Any ideas on how to clean this out without letting any get into the carb. Or should I assume the carb is also gummed up and do a rebuild on it? Looks like it has been sitting for a long time....any other suggestions on how to get it ready to start? Thanks

TN-26 is a 1950-51 5HP.<br />I would figure that the tank, tank filter, fuel lines and carb will all need attention.

Howdy, Hunter.<br /><br />Your TN-26 is a 1950 5.0hp.<br /><br />Set points at .020, Champion plugs gapped at .030.<br /><br />Correct fuel mix is 24:1, unleaded regular and TC-W3 rated outboard oil.<br /><br />You will need to overhaul the carb, clean the tank and lines, replace the water pump impeller.<br /><br />Get a manual here: http://www.outboardrepairs.com/manuals/ <br /><br />Good luck.
