1987 Johnson 50hp suggested work to be done

[Fishon1]

I have a 1987 Johnson 50 HP (model J50TLCUD) and I think is time to spend a little time and money on it. I have owned it since it was new and it continues to run strong. I have never had any material work done on it in the last 19 years. I have decarbed it last year and did not see a lot of difference, which I think is good. I have the OEM service manual for it so I should be able to do most of the work myself. I do think that I should put in a new impeller. Other than that what would be recommended.<br /><br />Any suggests would be welcomed<br /><br />Thanks and have a good day.

Hey Fishon1,<br /><br />Just gotta love those Johnson/Evinrude motors Here's a post that deals with motors that have been in storage or not used for along time, but the advice will apply to your situation perfectly.<br /><br /> web page

Thank you for the link. Any and all help is appreciated. I have used the motor each and every year and it continues to run strong and I want to make sure that it stays that way.

The service manual lays it all out - I doubt that we can improve on it.
