What size tools?

[steviecops]

I want to build up a tool kit specifically for working on my Johnson motor. I can't buy an AF/imperial socket set, or set of AF/imperial wrenches, without having to buy a set that also includes metric ones. So the best way for me to build up the tools, is to buy them individually.<br /><br />Could anyone tell me which sizes of wrench's and sockets I would need to perform routine maintenance and repairs on my engine?<br /><br />Thank you.

Post the model number or the year and horsepower of your motor so we can best tell you what sizes are needed.

As for wrench's 3/8 to 9/16 combination. As for socket's, get a 1/4 drive ratchet with extensions, plus a wobbler socket set 5/16 to 9/16. This will fit most of what you want for minor maintenence.As for a tool set, I have a double garage full, been buying a life time! still buying.

My engine is a 1980 Johnson 55 electric start.<br /><br />I don't have any Whitworth tools, here in the U.K, we are being slowly taken over by europe and therefore can only buy tools in metric sizes, unless you buy them individually (

Why don't you order a set of of tools from the USA? Doesn't Sears, Northern, JC Whitney, etc ship outside the USA? I would think that the cost of shipping would be offset by the savings of buying a toolset one piece at a time.<br /><br />Mark.

Steviecops, I've been thinking along similar lines myself, about buying a set of tools especially for my 1958 Johnson 18hp. Most of my tools are metric for my 1969 and 1972 VWs, so I need to buy some AF sockets.<br />You can get AF socket sets from Machine Mart no need to go to the expense of importing from the USA or buying individual sockets!
