These are very closely related to the E/J 5.5. Routine parts are readily available right here at iboats.All great motors.I have a 5D11B (55)a little farther removed from the 5.5 but still uses some of the parts.

I just picked up a 5 HP Goodyear engine. It is a 5 horse TWO CYLINDER. I'm going to tear it down and rebuild it. WHERE CAN I GET LITERATURE/ PARTS FOR IT?????
