Trying to ID year of Evinrude and Johnson motors

[eddy62]

I have collected 2 outboards over the years. I now want to ID them by year. I looked on the Evinrude site that was listed in the archives but the data seems to have vanished . Here's what I have hopefully some one can help.<br /><br />Evinrude Fastwin 18HP Serial 15020 - 14658<br /> This doesnt seem to have a model number on the plate.<br /><br />Johnson Sea Horse 10HP Model QD 17R<br />Serial 1469021.<br /><br />Thanks for any help you can give<br /><br />ED

Howdy, Ed.<br /><br />Your 'Rude is a 1957, The Johnny is a 1956.<br /><br />The 'Rude uses Champion J6C plugs gapped at .030".<br />The Johnny uses Champion J4C plugs gapped at .030". For extended trolling or low speed operation go to .040" on both.<br /><br />Both magnetos call for .020" points gap.<br /><br />Both engines call for a 24:1 fuel mix.<br /><br />Good luck.

JB , Thank you for your reply and the extra info. I just aquired a Sea King boat to restore and I'm going to use these engines on it.<br /><br /><br />ED
