Re: need a year for my seaking
That's a 1958 35 hp, made by Gale, a division of OMC, manufacturers of Johnson and Evinrude outboards.<br /><br />You're in luck with this motor. Parts are readily available. It's essentially the same as the RD-19 Johnson 35hp model. <br /><br />Fuel:Oil mixture is 24:1 (1qt. per 6gal of 87 octane gasoline)<br /><br />When looking for parts, you're looking for parts for that 1957-58 RD-19 or RD-19C Johnson outboard. Ignition parts and carburetor parts are easy to find, since they are carried by Sierra Marine, available at all NAPA auto parts dealers.<br /><br />Point gap is .020"<br />Spark plug should be a Champion J6C, gapped at .030"<br /><br />Many other parts are available at your local Johnnyrude dealer, although you may find that you have to convince them that they still have these parts. <br /><br />I believe the only real difference between this motor and the RD-19 is that yours will have a fuel pump, so it uses the single line gas tank, rather than the 2-line pressure tank. <br /><br />Lots of owners of these Big Twin engines here. To get help, post questions on the Johnson/Evinrude form, referencing the Johnson RD-19 in the title of your threads. You can explain in the message that it's a Sea King.
