Montgomery Wards Sea King. 7.5hp

[tbrooks1015]

Just picked it up for $50. Been sitting for 2 years. Anyone able to help with the year? I got Serial # 1197011. Model # k7514106a. Type # xtv50475A. Would like to change the impeller. Where would be a good place to look for parts. Also what is the fuel ratio on this? Any help would be appreciated.

From what i've found its a 1976 model. I have a question about the impeller though. Is there suppose to be a steady stream of water coming out or a mist? I'm getting a mist and i'm not sure if I should be concerned.

It seems like you are having a hard time getting some answers, and, while I don't have a professional answer to your question, you might check out this link about a Clinton Sea King:

The motor referenced in that link is a 5 HP vs. your 7.5, but because it's a Clinton Sea King of similar vintage, there may be some useful information. Also, I have never seen a proper water discharge 'misting.' A good impeller should give a good water flow.

Here's a start for parts, and there are likely plenty of other places.
