Restoring my Johnson 6r72d

[Frankenstein Johnson]

Johnson 6hp sat for -20 years. Good compression on both cylinders. Cooling passages clear and flowing. Carb, ignition, fuel pump rebuild planned. Missing lower unit just worrying about the power head for now. Looking for sanity checks before ordering parts. Any help would be appreciated.

And if you have questions about specifics I hadn’t mentioned I’ll try my best to fill it in

These are fantastic / simple motors.-----When I pick up one of these the block is torn down for a complete inspection.---Have 4 of them on the work bench now.---Consumable parts are easy to find.----If it still has the original head gasket , you should replace it with improved one.----Sierra is the best deal for that item..----Check thermostat as I usually find them stuck open or missing.
