  • this motor has the same power head as that newer west bend 7.5 with neutral clutch that you ran in another video. compatibility was great for w/b through chrysler, they did not change much.

    i have the next year (round plastic emblem instead of fish) and have all of them but the SHRIMP which i think had a faulty pot metal carb that year, so really hard to find.

    i love the space age styling of these late 50s/early 60s w/b- some say ugly, i say AWESOME!!!

  • I had a 1959 West Bend Silver Shark 18H.P. Great motor you have there and they had a very distinct sound.If I recall its either a 20;1 or 25;1 mix

  • I had the 7.5 hp Shark worked great until My dad sold it on me.

  • THATS! what the Decal looks like!

    Cool!
