    I could not find anything in the 3rd Edition Johnson service manual about
    the little tube in the oil drain galley, and never have come up with
    a parts manual for this era of 1938 to 1940 4.2 and 5 hp Johnsons.
    I did find a "froze up" parts engine on the rack, so I tore that apart today.
    That too, had the little copper tube in the oil drain galley….. strange design..
    or poor engineering?

    Prepare to be boarded!
