MOTOR DESCRIPTION:
Up for bid in this auction is a REALLY NICE and ORIGINAL 1938-40 era SEA KING by Montgomery Ward that is a 1.8 horsepower single cylinder outboard motor- presumably largely made from the Elto ACE platform of the same period. I have not taken the cowls off to look underneath to see what exactly the model number is of this motor but it’s like 8763 or 8765. This motor is all original with the exception of the tiller grip. Everything appears to be in FAR above average cosmetic condition- the often massively damaged prominent fuel tank does have a few small dents in it but nothing like the damage you normally see on these little Sea Kings.
The motor pulls over with good compression and all of the usual things that are broken or wrong with these motors are intact and pretty nice- including the SKEG which is perfect. The inside of the tank is pretty clean. I have not tried to start this motor but it pulls over with good compression and will surely run given the usual tinkering of carburetor / magneto fiddling. The only problem that I see with the motor is that the tiller collar spins on the leg of the motor- a common problem for motors of this period and up into the 1950s that had the tiller connected in such a manner. I have not done anything to see if this may tighten up or not. The motor may need that rubber vibration damper collar to be replaced or shimmed. NO RESERVE!!!!
TRANSACTION TERMS:
Cash payment due upon pickup, if pickup is going to be after one week’s time then paypal payment required. I can hold a motor(s) for up to 30 days as long as its paid.
