Saw on Craigslist a guy selling a 1953 5 1/2hp Johnson.
Said he bought new in 53, and ran until parked 2 years ago....and his kid started taking it apart to fix, but they bought a new motor...
Said his kid has taken apart the magneto assembly, and the pull start...he has all the parts though.
40 bucks!!!!
I have NO use for a small motor, but I love old stuff....and 40 bucks!!!! I could pass that under the war departments radar EASILY!!!!
I've yet to call the guy about it, and would obviously check compression, and anything else I could check...
I did a search, and not much pulled up for this motor.
Thanks for your thoughts people.
