    1966 Johnson 9.5hp (MQ-12A)

    btw servicing the magneto... condensers if never changed are likely bad...VOM testing is not fool proof since they are subjected to high voltages tha can leak across the inner foils. jfyi... refurbishing the magneto is about $125-$150 in parts but well worth it for another 10-15 years +...
