New to this forum, and glad I found it.
I recently aquired an old 3hp twin cylinder outboard. The only thing I know is that it is a 3hp, because I have several JW series Johnson 3hp motors and it basically looks like them on instead of being white it is green. I can find no model number anywhere. The points look to be in excellent shape, and the coils are black and are completly crack free ( I have a couple of other 3hp motors that have the cracked coils) I am guessng they are replacements. The points are opened and closed by a plunger and I cannot find any informaton about this type of ignition set up. If I knew wat year and model I had it would be a great help in obtaining parts.
The motor differs from the white Johnsons that I have, in that it has a primer of some sort beside the gas tank and other things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I could take pictures if anyone needs them to help in the identification of this relic.
