I ran across an old 1969 johnson 115, I think it is a 69 model#115esl69e
is what the owner states the welch plug says. Has 115 compression across the 4 cylinders.
It is at an Merc dealer and he took it in as trade. Everythign is there except the prop and the engine looks good in the pics he sent me.
The question is are parts still available for this old workhorse, and are the parts on the 69 interchangeable with the 78 115 I have, ie starter, carbs? Sure the ignition is different but for the price he is asking it is worth it just to have a spare set of carbs, starter, lower unit?
Thanks for the replies,WAV
