Here is a Johnson AB 25 I have been working on. Trying to get it running again. Has compression and the previous owner said it ran 5 years ago, but the wires got hot so he turned it off.
The kill switch wire on this motor is a braided wire. The cloth casing is coming off and I was doing renovation on a 1930’s house and got some telephone wire that is the same size with good casing on it. The wire is a single wire. Will this work?
Thanks, Robert
Lower unit aside, the real desirable part on this motor is the wood tiller handle originally wrapped in leather. Save that puppy. Repro-s are selling for north of $50 US and they are good repops, but not exact copies (slight dimensional differences make the repops larger than originals)
