I get jealous every time someone posts here about a JW series JohnnyRude.

Try www.tcoutboard.com for used but good parts.

And here I was thinking flowers and maybe a nice bottle of wine . . .

Naw, I would say fresh spark plugs and a new jug of TCW-3.

Tuned up a JW-16 last weekend at the lake for a neighbor. Talk about a sweet running little gem, it was truly a joy to see it humming along. It idled so slow in gear and was rock solid.

It seems like a nice little motor to my untrained eye...

Bought it from an older gent(85) he was a mech in a marina for years. It has not run in 2yrs. he told me it ran "spot on" last time he had it out... This thing does not even have a scrach on it. Just missing the cowling. I have not tried to start it yet... need to change fluid in lower unit i would think... I just got it on the 4th...

Is there a reverse on a small motor like this?

Re: How to date old evinrude outboard

Yup , it has reverse......just rotate motor 180 degrees....simple.
