Re: 1969 Johnson 55 Wiring Diagram
Thanks everyone for the info... And thanks Alcan... I certainly don't want anyone to break the law... Normally I would never touch an OMC outboard. I'm a Mercury man. I've got 3 old 20 Mercs, a 25, and a 40 and all of them run like brand new. But I salvaged this old 55 Johnson Electric shift. The top end and gearcase had been rebuilt about 10 years ago and then the motor was immediately mothballed in a shed ever since. The motor seems to be in great mechanical shape. I oiled the cylinders and cranked it over---great compression, but won't fire. It looke like the mice had a pretty good time with the wiring therefore that's where I'm going to start. Years ago I had 3 Electric Shift 65 Johnsons, so I know a LITTLE about these motors. <br /><br />I'm also looking for about a 35 (no bigger) to replace my 20 Mercs, as I plan to add a little weight to my boat. Do you think anyone would be interested in a possible swap. I have 2 20 mercs that run perfect plus one for parts. I also have a 1999 40 Merc that runs perfect, but has a torn up gearcase. The 40 is just a little much for my boat...<br /><br />Thanks Again, More to follow<br />Louis
