all the common parts should be available either from the dealer or used from shops selling parts
to maintain these oldies the Johnson maintenance bible is available on line for download a 400 + page manual that covers all maintenance aspects od RD 13-15 for the 1952 and 1953 25 hp’s
do expect to replace cracked coils ..if cracked,… condensers … impeller… points may just need a clean-up
before spending $$$$ on parts and all….. check for low compression in case it was run hot , could be just a head gasket or a major undertaking. Look/consider the general aspects … was it neglected overall or pampered for 70 years ? see a nice 5.5hp
I refurbished
check gear oil for water (GC may need a reseal) … it is all in the book !
J&E and cousins anyway…. so the Johnson book will cover what is needed carb magneto gc ph wise etc…
