I have a 1956 Johnson 7.5hp outboard that I would like to have inspected. I don’t have a proper workshop and tools, nor do I have the experience to restore this motor. It does run, and was tested in a barrel, but I think that the water pump may be worn. Is there anyone within 100 miles of Romney, WV who can restore this motor? I work on wooden boats, but not motors, but I can repaint the motor and add the proper decals. I will be restoring a 1949 Penn Yan Trailboat this spring, and this motor will be added to the boat, so there is no great hurry to finish the motor. I also have a 1960 Johnson 3hp and I would love to learn how to rebuild this motor. doug@dzaruba.com

Doug, welcome to the club.

This post was accidentally made under the group site details page, rather than the actual forum.

Once you go to the “Ask a Member Forum,”

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, then put your post details in the box provided.

That will post it to the group where all of us members can see and respond to your post.

In regards to the 7.5 and 3 HP, they are very easy to work on. I am unfortunately on the East Coast, but there is a great following on the West.

Good place to start is by getting some manuals for them! Good luck with your search.
