Repair manuals Close to your engine ok?

[Wimperdink]

I'm having trouble hunting down an oem shop manual for my 1970 Johnson 4hp 4W70E <br /><br />I'm finding them for 1969, 1972, and 1973. Would any of these be close enough? Aren't these years all pretty close to the same engine? The 1973 manual is model AW73 and my model is AW70 should be about the same ya think? Just 3 years differant?

For that particulair engine, I think *any* of those manuals will suit nicely. They hardly changed anything on that engine.<br /><br />I've got a 4W72 (W for Weedless lower unit with the 110° drive) and it's just been great. I use my trusty Seloc (56-70) for it all the time. <br /><br />(The local library has '73 OEM manuals though. )<br /><br />EDIT: I see there's an '70 Evinrude manual on ebay. Evinrudes and Johnsons were identical around this time except for the paint. Use the following search terms in ebay:<br />(4, 4hp) (evinrude, johnson) manual 1970

i've weeded through a lot of stuff on ebay... went ahead and purchased the 73 manual cause shipping was less than everyone else's and buy it now for 8 bucks isnt bad. Thanks

Wimperdink, if that motor is a 4hp, then that is one tiny boat.
