Re: johnson seahorse

Those are nice little motors. They're basically an upgraded version of the old light twins and Jw's. Basically the same design, but quite a bit huskier. You'll want to run 24:1 mix in that. Some will say 50:1, but there are no needle bearings in those motors at all and they are a friction type engine. Unfortunately, I have the same motor in my shed which I had to install a crank and rod kit for a guy, because of a lean fuel mixture.:cool:

Re: johnson seahorse

What is the model # on the motor? Post it and I or someone here can look to see exactly what year it actually is!
