Help please identifying old sea horse

I recently got a old johnson sea horse. I know nothing about it and was wondering what hp/year it was? Also if i can still find parts and a manual for it? The serial # is 560700....Model 7020. Thanks for all responses!!!

Got a pic you could post of the motor and/or the plate?

Coils might be hard to find and dear. What you should do is create yourself an account on AOMCI.ORG and post your wants on the Webvertize forum or someone on this site might see your request and PM you.

That coil may still be good. It's the newer "Universal" coils that all go bad after 30 years or so

He'll have to pull the flywheel, the early TD-20 coils were the horseshoe style coil which isn't the standard.

Re: Help please identifying old sea horse

I cleaned the carb, reset the points to .020 and cleaned them up and still have no spark on the bottom cyinder, so i figured the condensor/coil was bad

Re: Help please identifying old sea horse

They could be bad; it's just not an automatic thing like on the later 1950's through 1960's coils. Those just go bad from sitting there and cracking.

Swap the coils around, that will rule out a bad coil.
