Chuck, welcome to the club. You will find a lot of very knowledgeable folks here that are always willing to help out. I’ve only been a member and starting a classic outboard collection for a couple years now and I’ve learned a lot by following this forum. And as you’ve found, once you start working on a motor you immediately want to start collecting more! The JW is a good motor to start with. The first one I started with was my ’58 Johnson QD-19 and now I’m totally hooked on the mid to late 50’s Johnson classics. Like the other guys here have already noted be sure to use the 16:1 oil mix on your motor.
