Hello fonziep, would you have any parts left, I would need some carburetor parts Part# 43132158, 43170912, 43132159, - the leather gaskets I cut myself
@fenwicker 16-1 and you can double check if you like with the kind folks at AOMCI.org; You MUST make sure your 2-stroke oil is for OUTBOARDS because it's very different for air-cooled chainsaws and whatnot!
6 years ago my grandfather gave me his old antique johnson outboard and ive been looking everywhere on finding info on this and i may have found what ive been looking for. the decals have faded but its an old motor thats gonna be restored =]
My father recently gave away what I believe was a 2 or 3 H.P. Johnson Seahorse almost identical to the one in the video. It belonged to my grandfather and was used in the 50's by our family on camping trips in Canada when I was a kid.Aside from any sentimental value was this motor worth anything?
If its got fresh paint and scratch less with crome 1-2k at an auction. Dust and bird crap and hasn't been started in years... about $70 on craigslist. Doesn't start, missing unit, tiller gone or any main piece gone or completely broken its just trash.
Are those old 1960's Johnson motors air cooled or water cooled? I've got a 1967 3 HP that I ran in a bucket of water and didn't see any water coming out of the engine. Should I?

Don't run at 40:1 !! or it will be toast. 24:1 minimum 16:1 is better !!

@jenthebonehead That is true of all 1950's or older out boards 16:1 and it will outlive you is what My Dad always told me so far he was right.

@gibsonrocker1995 It is 24:1 recommended or even 16:1 can be ran to be safe. everybody has their opinions
