I also have one of these outboards, a wards sea king 5hp, I don't know even how old it is but I am guessing maybe late 60's or the 70's, it runs well however, I found that there is no air cleaner with it and I am not sure where to look for these parts, it seems to be that this is not a common outboard motor or it is to old. there is also a small part that I am not sure, its proper name, is missing from below the engine it self it adjusts and controls how and what angle the outboard shaft and propeller sits in the water. I also have the matching wards sea king aluminum boat, I think it about 10' or 12' in length, the motor and shaft is a dark green and the top of the motor is a white or beige, the paint is old so I don't know what the colors may have looked like new. I don't now much about boats or outboard motors, I would like to keep this boat and motor in good order, I wrote down the numbers stamped in a tag just below the engine itself, the paint has came off and only the stamped numbers are left so I don't know what the stand for but here they are... j500 1106c 371679 xtv 27005 b I may take a picture and post it. Any help would be helpful thanks.
