1976 johnson 25HP Electric Start Tiller

[ctbs]

Hello all,<br />Could someone weigh in on the life span and reliability of this kind of engine? If I was into a very nice example of one for say, $700, would that be a good investment in your minds?<br />It looks great, has had ligth use, but is almost 30 years old.<br />Thanks so much,<br />CT

CT....the 20's and 25's are very reliable motors with a good block. I still get them in the shop and they run really well. If you want to check the condition, take it to a local wrench for a check out....spark, compression, lower unit, etc. Take it out for a spin and see how it responds to throttle settings. Not really that bad of a price for a 20 in really good condition and electric start to boot.
