quote Tom Manley:
Very interesting motor!
They are a unique motor, being designed and built during the art deco and great depression years. They were Johnsons first attempt at shrouding a motor, with the one piece carb on the front flowing into the smooth cylinders. Evinrude may have had the first reed valves in ’35 but Johnson had the first covered powerhead!
Here’s a short video of one I had shipped out from Ontario (Thanks Westwind) puttin away. It wouldn’t run right at first but after charging the magnets, it came back to life.
