I also have the same motor except the model number starts with VWS. I just started it yesterday and reset the carb and idle adjustments. I also drained the lower end dope and replaced with some 85-140. I did not have any marine grade oil but I am sure it will be fine. Mine is cold blooded to start and the pull cord winding assembly has a cracked spool so I had to use the emergency pully on top of the engine with the cover off. After I got it started and carb cleaned out it ran good. Good luck with yours, if you find a free manual keep me in mind. Good boating....I went to wilson boats and parts yesterday to get a few things I needed for the ol' Sea King. I did not know the year or model number when I went but the parts guy told me this engine was actually built by Merc for Chrysler. The pull core he sold me was too big for the spool so I do not know if his information on the maker is correct either.
