wanted to thank some folks here. i got this 80's johnson 25 hp motor.
the head was bad, it didnt idle, spark when it wanted to.... the problem was finding the head. ended up getting one off a late model 25 hp (1993) and it fit fine. so newer head, water jacket, gaskets, coils, cdi and carb cleaning and it now is a one pull start motor. once again many thanks!
i need to install a kill switch and service the lower unit, but cool that it runs so well. when i pulled the head i could still see cross hatch marks on the cylinder walls. it appears to have low hours, but cant tell.
