Hello Rob,
Welcome to the site. There is a vast amount of knowledge here and lots of great folks willing to help. Your early 50’s Sea Bee is built by the Gale division of OMC. The correct gas to oil mix ratio for this engine is 16:1, not 40:1. These engines use bronze bushings and not needle rollers so they need more oil. The "Shut off valve" is the valve that turns the flow of fuel mix on and off from the tank. I’m not sure where that valve is located on your particular motor, but you should have three knobs on it. There should be a high speed carb needle adjustment, a low speed carb needle adjustment, and the fuel shut off. The fuel shut off would should be turned to the left until it stops to open the fuel flow to the carburetor. The high and low speed adjustments.should be labeled as such. The fuel shut off probably us not labeled. I do not yet have any Gales this early so I’m not certain where the fuel valve is, but someone will know. They are usually close to where the fuel line connects to the tank.
Maybe that will get you started. No problem with questions. That’s how you learn.
