Just got around to bringing down an old motor from the attic. It is a johnson
model a-50 2 cylinder. I had no idea it was from 1930 ! I thought maybe 1945 !
It was stuck when I got it . That was 25 years ago. I got it un-stuck and appart
in a big box. Do yall think I could get away with just hoaning the bores and maybe
changing the rings ???????? Could I re-use the old rings by glass beading the outer
surfaces ????? assuming they aern't broken at the corners from when it stopped.
I am guessing it lost water and stopped. I can't remember if it has a piston pump
or the water induction thing....
I also have a merc. KD-3 1 cylinder thats almost ready to go back together.
Were these used just on canoes ????? the clamp looks too small to fit onto
a modern transom !
