Service manual, parts for early 50s Johnson 5.5 HP Sea Horse?

[joaklay]

I havent yet found manuals, parts for that engine online so far and although it still runs fine, I'd like a service manual for it and any available parts info too if anyone here knows of any good sources.<br /> Here's one that looks just like it on Ebay for $75 except that mine has a white handle http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2428875729&category=26454

The model # is CD-11<br /><br /> I didn't see anything for that in the link above but I did find a cd-rom for all older Johnson motors for sale on Ebay which might be good enough.

have you checked out duckworks yet?

they do a 5.5 re-build.

Also abos and a few other books have re-build instructions for these motors. I have used them and find them just as handy as the originals. Also the 5.5 spanned several years, while there will be some differences, I've had success using one abos guide for my 54 johnson 5.5, 58 evinrude 5.5 and 59 johnson 5.5.

75 bucks sounds like a lot for a manual, must be an original service manual from 54. have you tried ken cook?
