Some pictures of a C I had. It didn’t show signs of being messed with much. But – “A lot can happen over 100 years.” Of coarse the coil wires were rotten and it had a early set of spark plugs. I’m sure it hadn’t been run for decades. Someone had donated it to a museum. They had it laying on a concrete floor, covered with a tarp, in an unheated storage building. No idea how long they might have had it or what it might have look like when they got it. Those that are knowledgeable in these things can certify what is right or wrong with it. I have more pictures. Some when it was apart. If there is something your are looking for I might have a shot of it. This is a link to my first attempt to start it after who knows how long. https://youtu.be/hKX0mZji7aA?si=6PUIH6s-iXIt0R9A

Great looking restoration Tubs. the polished aluminum goes well with the painted parts. I believe that the tank was the only thing that was really painted but I will have to go outside to look at my motor to determine that, as the color could be either a dull aluminum paint job or just dull aluminum itself. My ruddertwin is in my profile picture but if anybody wants I can send them some more photos via email.

This turned out to be a nice example once I got it cleaned up. There were very few nicks, or scratches, in any of the aluminum parts. I just went over them a couple times with some metal polish and a rag. I can only wonder what the flywheel and gas tank looked like before it went under that tarp. The only thing I had to fix, except for the coil, was the gas cap. The ball inside had become so rusty it was pushing the vent valve shut. While I’m a big Super Elto fan, I’m not of this model. It was great fun making presentable, learning about it, and getting running again, but after I displayed it some, it went into the hands of someone who plans to use it.

Thanks David, but I get way more out of logging on here than I give. I recognized your OA-55 gear case in one of Lincolns recent videos. Surprise! I believe that style of pump is unique, as to Cooling for an outboard. Although there could be others, I’ve only seen this gear case on one other model Johnson.

For some reason I think these tanks were plated???? Originally..
Although most of it was gone on the outside, this tank still had most of its plating on the inside. I believe the cylinder were also plated .
