A freind of mine gave me a 15hp Chrysler Sea King with a Montgomery Ward sales plate on it. The model numbr is vws-52119a. Can anyone tell me what year motor this is. I started it yesterday and have a few issues. The starter pull assemble has a cracked black plastic housing and I would like to find out what part of the assembly I have to order to fix it. The tilt pin that goes through both sides of the bracket that has the setting holes is missing a clip. Where can I get a free download manual for this motor. Thanks, this is my first post.
Are you sure it is not a VWB? If so VWB52119A was made in 1980 by chrysler. There are no free downloadable anything for the chrysler. You can try doug russell or mercruiser and use chrysler 15 HP from 1980 for your search. Part 15 is 43 dollars from Mercury. Part number 817811A1.
Spring pin number 41 in below pic is part number 17-38489 and costs $2.31
eurolarva, Wow you are great. Thanks for the pics they are perfect. I figured the plastic spool would be a bit much. I appreciate the quick and professional reesponse. Hope you had a great Labor day on the water.
