    Bill,

    I am running the water choke on my 1960 40Hp Johnson and love it! However it must be in working order in order to fall in love with it. The vacuum pull-off must be checked to ensure it releases the choke. The thermal spring must also be free to move as the cooling water gets warm and of course a proper working thermostat. I picked up my 1960 40Hp over 19 years ago and never had to fix anything regarding the water choke.
