My 1973 Johnson 9.5 - pics attached!

Here it is. And a picture of my daughter to make some people smile!

I think its a hell of an engine. Real tight, tons of compression. Im rebuilding the carbs now. The dealer I bought it from took care of the new coils, points, condensers, and spark plug wires.

Input is welcome!

Beautiful daughter, cr9c1.

Do you have a question?

Nah, I thought I would show off my awesome find.

I will add, that when resurrecting these relics, carb rebuild is an ABSOLUTE must. I found tons of varnished fuel in mine.

Nope. Not that I know of. This winter when I have free time I'm going to tear the guts out of the water pump and reseal everything so its ready for next season. Its cherry - hardly used at all.

Hmmm. One picture of your daughter and two pictures of your motor. Could be difficult to tell which one you are more proud of.

*lol* She wouldn't sit still long enough for me to tank any decent pictures that weren't all blurry.

She's really good at helping me fix my outboards. She yells and screams and laughs witch usually means I screwed something up.
