Old SeaKing 7HP outboard

[Lobo 1]

I have a SeaKing 7hp outboard Model k-700-2107-A, Serial #610450, Type 6027370 R Can anyone tell me when it was made or any other info on this motor ? Also if parts are available for it any where ?

I am new to this forum but I am really impressed with the posts I have seen and the usefull information posted here.

My info indicate 73 built by Clinton.Out of business for some time.
Aircooled powerhead water cooled leg.A compremise motor at best.
Noise,vibration,fiddly operation,under powered.But an inexpensive entry to outboards if you don't have to buy a lot of parts.
I believe CEPCO may have help and parts at 563-652-2411 you'll probably have to leave a message.

Thanks Steelespike,

It is a Clinton motor. The old thing will run but not very well and have trouble starting it, then when it heats up it wants to die and not start. What fuel mix should I use in it ? I think I used 32/1 when I tried it last Summer.

Thanks Again.

Fuel mix is 48:1. Water should mist out of the relief holes in the leg.
I would check spark when it dies.next fuel flow.

Thanks again Steelespike !

Fuel mix may have contributed to the problem. I am just now starting to think about getting everything ready for spring. Not sure I want to put money into this motor. I got it and a trolling motor with a boat I bought last summer, sort of a package deal, so not really much invested so far.

Thanks again.
