    What bearings???

    Another carb adjustment question.

    Hi everyone. Around this time last year I posted about a 1959 Johnson CD16 that I was restoring. Had a bunch of trouble getting the fuel pump conversion to work properly.

    Vintage mad river canoe resto

    I'm restoring a 1987 mad river malicite canoe. It's the canoe I spent my teen years in. I'm a semi-pro woodworker so that part isn't an issue. All the woodwork will be new white ash. The seats are already done and the gumwales are ready for installation. Before I install the new woodwork, I...

    I cracked the driveshaft bearing plate on my 5.5

    Hi everyone. I'm rebuilding a 1959 Johnson 5.5 (CD-16) and I'm making a video of the entire process. Nearly everything is completed and I only have the lower unit to rebuild. Problem is, tonight while I was trying to extract the upper driveshaft seal in the driveshaft plate, I cracked the...

    Connecting rod caps on my 1959 5.5 hp (cd-16)

    So I'm rebuilding a 1959 Johnson 5.5. I'm in the process of reassembly right now and I'm annoyed with the flat head-style rod caps because I can't put a torque wrench on them to set the proper torque (60-66 inch pounds). I have them snugged up real good with a large flat head screwdriver...
