1956 Johnson 15hp - need pictures

[jhrudkaj]

Hello,

I have a '56 Johnson FD 10 that I got for free. I found it on the side of the road. It had the original gas tank. I had it running once and then I didn't do anything with it for a while. What I need to know is what the knobs on the front are for. I know the one is the choke, but there are two other knobs that turn. Can somone take pictures or explain which is which. The words on the front plate are worn off.

Thanks a bunch,
Joe

The top knob is the slow speed carb adjustment and the bottom knob is the high speed carb adjustment. Great find!!

Parts are still available far as I know for most old outboards.
