I have a late 70's johnson.The tag is missing.The number on the frost plug is c8064575.Can anyone tell me what the model # is.I am gona need a manual and parts.
is that the only number, that looks like a serial number, we need the model number. I assume there is not tag on the stern bracket? What hp is the motor?
Yes that would probibly help.It's a 35hp (so the cover says).I can see where the tag used to be.An outline and 2 small rivet holes.Would pictures help?Any paticular part of the motor?I can get someone to help me post pictures.Let me know if that would help. thanks
I have taken pictures.Downloaded but the attachment wants a url number.I'm lost.When I do get them ready will I continue on this post or start new again?
Sometimes the pics are too big to post on this site, you will need to use a site like photobucket.com or the like to post your pics. Continue on this thread. There isnt another number on that frost plug eh?? THe quarter sized plug on the top rear of the motor?
nothing on the top rear.I found this #on a quarter sized metal plug located on the block behind the coils. sortof between coils and fuel filter.
Further investigation I found a faded Seahorse on cowl.On the air box is a sticker saying 1976 35HP spark advance 34 degrees.any help?
Im not sure if the spark advance info will be enough to verify it. What will however is a little more info from you. The first model number is for AC lighting with rope start, the second model number is for electric start, and the third is for rope start, that should give you your model number. The numbers after the slash are for long models.
yup, 1976 35 horse model number 35E76 . It is an 35EL76 if you have the long shaft. Youll have to measure it to find out. Now go buy some parts, lol !! Just needed a little detective work.
Further investigation into this motor.I found the rectifier is bad.No contunity between any 2 leads in any direction.While looking for parts I discovered this model/year had points.Mine does not.Looking at other model/year around the same year and size I found some with cdi which mine is.But the parts aren't the same.They show seperate stator and time base.My stator and trigger time base are one complete unit encased in resin.4 wires leave this unit and go to the powerpack and 4 go to the terminal plate to the rectifier.I cannot find any reference to this system.If I order a manual for a 35E76 I will get a manual showing points/condensor set up.Does anyone know what I have?
I'm not smart enough to know the exact differences between the two, but I'll bet they are minor. Compare the lower unit and ignition system parts and if they are the same, go with whichever one you find.
