Hello all, new to Johnson motors. Got a good deal yesterday. Picked up a 12' Johnson brand boat with a 9.5. Was a single owner setup and even had a very nice trailer too. Stored inside all it's life too. But it has it wounds and starting to look at fixing it up. Looking for a tiller grip, idle mixture knob and most importantly the correct cowl. It appears to have one from a later model. Mine is a 1964 and should have had the handle on the cowl to secure it but the guy had one from a later one on it that had the handle on the lower unit. These are kinda hard to find anymore and have been hunting on ebay but no luck yet. So thought I would ask on here. If anyone had these, get up with me. I may be interested in them. Also, even though it has been sitting since 2000, it started up with nothing but fresh gas and draining the old stuff out. Kinda rough on idle but going to seafoam it and see how that does. If not will rebuild the carb. Couldn't believe how easy it was to get it back to life.
I'm sure I will be bugging you guys soon enough with a bunch of stupid questions but please be patient with me, still kinda new to outboards. Thanks everyone in advance.
