Re: Best years for OMC 10 horse?

Chris,
You are right. The few Johnsons I have had were very old & I have rarely ran them at sustained wot just being careful as I couldn’t afford to buy another of the same horse power & vintage because the rarety of good motors. My 1958 Johnson 18 hp runs & starts well, but it is electric start too! It was a good buy because it needed crankshaft seals & was missing badly as the mag was oil soaked & needed correct service to be performed. In fact I have an extra 10hp green gearcase if anyone needs one. Still running in good shafts & gears too. Case good too.
Best,
Jeff
