Johnson 1956 5.5hp Seahorse - full restoration

[pfrulas]

Hi everybody,

a few months ago I asked a few questions regarding a Johnson 5.5 hp 1956 CD-13a motor...
Well, the motor is up and running and its taken me a few weeks to edit the videos I took while I did the restoration, but finally, here they are !

I was able to do the project, thanks to some key members of this forum, and a lot of the literature I found online.These videos are my way of saying thanks and giving back.

I have only a couple of videos done, but I?ll be posting them in the next couple of weeks. Here?s the first one !

Coils exposed, we unscrew the damaged coils and we check the spark plug connectors. One of the wires is damaged.
