Re: Help with Johnson K-50 1930 Twin

[mondobug]

Thanks for the help guys. I’m sure I’ll need more as I dig into to these. The gas tank for the Evinrude is pretty far gone so I’m toying with the idea of converting it to a single line with fuel pump. Years ago, I replaced the coils as the insulation was shot. I remember them being pretty rare and expensive even back then, probably late 80’s. This motor has been in the family since the mid 1960s so I don’t think the pump was ever serviced.

Since the K-50 doesn’t have a pump, I guess the idea of running it prop-less would work for testing? Has anyone made a hose fitting for the water inlet and what did it look like? Or maybe make a fitting small enough to clear the prop?

Thanks again!
