Need parts and year ID of my 6 hp Johnson..

[TBFH]

I have just aquired a 6 HP Johnson outborad and I need a few simple parts. Any idea what year motor it is and where I can locate some parts? (eg-Shifter handle and choke arm). I was told that it uses 40:1 oil ratio. Is this right? TIA.<br /><br />Model#CD-24D<br />Serial#J2721660

Hi TBFH,<br />Motor is a 1967.<br />I would run that on 32:1.<br />The parts you require are available thru any OMC dealer.<br />Not sure on your model but on many of the smaller vintage models, you had to remove the powerhead to change the shifter handle. Not difficult but<br />I would have a manual handy.<br />Good luck

Thanks MG, I sure appreciate the info. I haven't put it in the water yet mainly because of the need for the correct fuel mixture. I sure didn't expect it to run on 32:1, but that's why I leaned on you. Thanks again. Take care.<br /><br />TBFH
