No Title
I had a 1972 Johnson 6hp I sold a couple of years ago. I had it for about 3 years and knew nothing about outboards during that time so I never did any maintenance,winterizing,or anything like that. I knew nothing about TCW-3 two stroke oils but I did,to my credit,at least use oil that said outboard on it. I did have experience with other two stroke motors so I did find out what the correct fuel to oil ratio was. So all I really did was mix gas and oil,hook up to the tank and go fishing. That motor always started first time every time even after laying on it's side for a few months during the winter. I'm not saying every Johnson/Evinrude 6hp is like that but there sure was a lot of them sold and there are a lot of them still running.
My 8ft inflatable wasn't meant to plane and it didn't but we put that motor on a friends very light weight aluminium John boat and it zipped along pretty good. You can see how a 6hp pushes an inflatable boat if you do a search on YouTube for 6hp Johnson,Evinrude,Mercury ext.. As I remember there where quit a few on there to see.
