As a formerly musclebound type, I was amazed at how heavy and awkward this little motor is, jeeze, I lifted it easily enough, but manuvering it high enough and exactly enough on the engine stand, THAT was a trick!<br /><br />Busted fuel pump intake is all I see from here, I sprayed some WD 40 up the pee hole to see if there was any signs of mud coming out<br /><br />Still am amazed how heavy she is tho!<br /><br />

You can see by the colour of the paint, its never been overheated, and looking at the edge og headgasket, I dont think its ever been disassembled. Dont forget a new impeller. Good luck with it, it looks really good, i dont think ist has run a lot.

Re: The Johnson is On The Stand!!!

lol, would be the first time balls dropped to the floor :eek: from manhandling a Johnson ... aint she a pretty girl?<br /><br /> her 66 running mate is all white, so there is a dilemma, I personally like Evinrude Blue, so I was considering painting both motors blue where its green (or should be!) on both, and matching accents on the boat itself<br /><br />There isnt anything in the Seloc or CLymer manuals about changing the impeller on the long shaft models, are they any different? Once I find a fuel pump for her, I want to fire her up, already have a tune up kit for her<br /><br />Ive read where some people change the head gasket every year too, and at 36 years, shes due I guess<br /><br /> :rolleyes: <br /><br />edit - she does look like shes low hours, whereas the 66 40 horse looks like it went thru a war, Im willing to bet that once they are both tuned and turned loose on the back of the boat, they will be nearly equal in power<br /><br />Once I get the big stand done, Ill get both side by side, that way I can work on them both, cant wait to get em both on the water and churning away<br /><br /> :D :D :D
