Re: 1956 Johnson Javelin Water flow question
Like Wayne, I also question it being a '56 Javelin. The lower is white with no sign of it ever being Holiday Bronze. The only motor with a white lower that the '56 cowl would fit on is a '57 Javelin. However the lower pan doesn't have the elec. connector of a '57. Neither had a tiller handle, but that could have been added. Check the welsh plug on the engine for model number. It may be a hybrid. The model number on the transom bracket may not tell the whole story.
BTW, the water pump impeller is the same for both, as are most of the ignition components.
Here's a fully dressed '56 Javelin.
