johnson 'sail' outboard?

[andyhunt]

hi guys
just wondered if anybody knows about johnson outboards (silly question i know), cos' mine is a 25hp sail (bj25seleid) black in colour. and the engine size is depicted on the cowl in cc's not hp.
whenever i look for parts ect. i never seem to see my engine in the lists, then if i look for images all the motors seem to be white.
what's the difference?
any help would be great.

Belgian johnson 25hp bj25esleid? If it's elect start, then that's it from '91. Just get parts for a '91, and it should be right.

D --- Model Run Or Suffix

THIS IS WHAT I KNOW SO FAR, ANYBODY SEEN EM'?
WHY IN BLACK?
AND WHY CUBIC CAPACITY ON COWL INSTEAD OF HORSEPOWER?

Must've been some international run or somethin'. I'm sure the parts are the same, like any other belgian made omc. I like the uniqueness!

yeah probably right, nice engine though, everything very solid and insulated cowl, get her to 2000 revs and from there on up sounds like a four stroke and loads of power
