    Imagluttonforpunishment. Two new antique Johnsons.

    Just picked up two new antiques today. One is an older HD-20 model 2 1/2hp Johnson. Complete, with lower shroud and starter rope assembly. No sea mist green. Just silver. It looks pretty straight and the tank isn't all beat up. It looks like it's very restorable. All it looks like I need...

    Just rebuilt a lower end on 1965 Ski Twin

    Had another one of these "jumping out of gear" motors. This motor just happened to prove one of my earlier points about this issue. Don't automatically assume that it's a clutch dog creating the problem. The guy that brought me the motor went to a dealor/mechanic and they quoated him $400 for...

    Shift Rod Seal Removal Tool

    Anyone know where I can find one of these? It's for removing the shift rod seal bushings, for the older OMC lower units. I could make one, but the shop I work in doesn't have a lathe. So, I need to buy one.:cool:

    What a JW-14 can bring

    So, back in January, I picked up a 1958 Johnson JW-14 for $50.00 on Craigslist. I bought it as a non running motor. I took it home and spent $100.00 on parts to get it running real nice. New coils, carb kit, spark plug leads and impeller. Not bad investment to make it run good. At the first...

    Johnson J8RCTA 7.5hp?

    Yea, I thought this was kinda odd. I decided to put my old JW-14 in the paper to sell and a nice older fella down at the coast answered and offered to trade me the motor listed on the headline as a trade. Being the nice honest guy I am, I told him that his motor was most likely worth twice as...

    An interesting day

    So I had a customer bring by a 57 Johnson AD-11 today. He said the carburetor was boogered up. I said okay, no prob. A rebuild and you should be good to go. Well, I checked the ignition system out and it turns out he had "antique coils" and no spark on number one. I actually had it running...

    1957 18hp Evinrude. (an iBoats favorite)

    So, the other day I went and picked up a couple old motors. One was a 1958 Johnson JW-14, which I have already posted a thread earlier on this one. The other, of course is a 1957 Evinrude 18hp. The guy I got it from aparantly had it sitting outside because it had a lot of water in it. I...

    Just picked up a Johnson JW-14 Restoration project.

    I'm looking to restore this one. It doesn't look to be in too bad of shape, but I may be looking for a tank and lower shroud assembly. It pulls over great and the compression feels pretty good. I'll take a reading and see how it looks. First, I want to remove the tank and clean it all up and...

    Check shift linkage before you tear it down

    I often times see people on here tearing their lower units down, without making sure the linkage is adjusted properly. On a lot of the older OMC's they have ways to adjust the linkage, right at the shifter. Unfortunately, over the course of my outboard repair history, I've seen many tear down...

    I scored big!

    So the other day, I opened up my email and saw a friend of mine was offering me a free boat. I thought COOL! So it turns out, he said that there was a 25 hp and an 8 hp. So I figured okay, there's a couple antique motors to tinker with. So, Whednesday, I went out and checked out this "free...
