Ok, im thinking of buying this motor. It was brought and left here for me to check out. It runs but stalls out after a few.<br /><br />Firstly, i think its a Johnson or Evinrude, buy looking at the fuel pump. It looks like the same as my 15hp Evinrude had, so thats whats making me think im in the right place.<br /><br />Model #J3REDS, The tag also says 96 on it in one spot. I assume its a 96?<br /><br />Its a small motor. He said he thinks its a 5hp. It has an internal tank and can hook to an external tank, thats what i ran it on (external). The problem is, the petcock for going off/internal/external is not marked and doesnt look like a stock thing. Looks like it was added on. So i dont know what way is what way.<br /><br />Its 2 cylinder and water cooled, its pumping water fine.<br /><br />I need some info on this puppy. Fuel mix would be good to start off with. I ran it on 50:1 that i already had mixed.<br /><br />Edit...<br /><br />Oh yeah, also, this motor doesnt seem to have any reverse. The side lever only seems to have forward or nutruel.
