Looks more like a 6hp or 10hp Chrysler "Sailor" to me, but I don't know how to tell the difference.<br />Click here:<br /> http://www.hurrikain.homeftp.net:15021/images/1976-ob/ob-76-14.JPG

certainly looks like a chrysler leg. The flywheel doesn't look like anything johnston or evinrude ever used.

Well it sure ain't a Johnson. The recoil starter looks like one from the McCollouch Scott motors.

It's a Chrysler - or one of the private label ones sold through Sears or Monkey Wards (Sea King). Probably the 6hp judging by the shape of the cylinder head... c. 1970s...<br /><br />- Scott
