1974 15HP Johnson

Hi

Pete is picking up a 1974 15 HP 2 Stoke Johnson engine tomorrow.
Has anyone had any experiences with this or the 9.9HP version?

Thanks

James

To day I went to Brighton with Pete and picked up his 15 HP engine.
For £300 it looks like a good buy. It fires over fine.

The engine is setup for remotes so we need to fit the tiller and do the basics like change spark plugs, water pump, thermostat and gear box oil. Once thats done, he can take me for a ride out :D
