1973 50hp Johnson 50ESL73 W.O.T.

While I'm waiting for my new rectifier and manual to come from iboats
can anyone tell me what W.O.T. rpm's should be. I've got 3 different
props and want to make sure I keep the correct one on. Also, does anyone
know if there is a rev limiter on this motor? Thanks!

5300-5500 at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) with a light load.

5500 is your goal. Anything less and you "lug" the engine. That engine does not like to lug.

To my knowledge-NO. But, 5500 will not hurt it. I wouldn't go over that, on that older engine, but that is your goal. (light load)

What are you talking about buying selling parts?

Parts offered for purchase, or sale, should be done via the PM (private message) system.

A poster, "offered" parts for sale. I would pass that info. on if they send a PM.

Ok, I must have missed something somewhere. I thought he meant I was selling parts or something. I have no pm's. thanks
