Sea King Serial Number?

[tgenrich]

I cannot find a plate or serial number on this motor.
Can anyone verify year and model?
It is a 3.0 2 cylinder, starts on first pull and runs like a champ.

Early ’40s model 8814 -built by Evinrude – some parts also used on the Elto Handitwin and Evinrude Sportwin. shown here with the horse and a half single.

There should be a brass welsh plug on the front, port side of motor, behind the carburetor. The number on this will be the model and serial number.

[tgenrich]

Yep, on brass plug: 449 02983
Great thanks.
Does that tell the year?

1938 model rated @2.8 hp.

[tgenrich]

Wow. A 2 cylinder with only 2.8 hp.
Thanks for the info.
I think it is a cool motor with the cowling. And it runs great. Lots of weight for wimpy hp.

Anyone know the correct spark plug for this Sea King model? 2.8 hp and 4.5 hp

[tgenrich]

Mine has Wards 14.
I think original plugs.
Sucker runs great.

If they take 14mm plugs, then a j7j set at 0.025″ would work. I use a NGK B6S or #3510.

Check out this site, it should tell you what you want to know!
The 449 shows it is a 1938. Nice old motor.
