Just bought a johnson A65 serialnumber 202141 for €25,- , thats around 30 dollars.
Where could i buy a service and parts manual?
It is complete but the pistond are stuck.
Any advice would be welkom.

Thanks Stanley, this will get me going.
Better start reading before i break anything.
Fixed a British Seagull 102 of 1953 but this johnson is something else entirely.
Well nothing better then a good challenge to get your brain working.( hopefully )

They’re great little motors.

Yes they are, unfortually i dont know a lot about them but ready to learn.
First thought the pistons were stuck but saw one moving slightly trough the sparkplughole.
Seems the problem is in the tail, think i find out when i seperate them.
Already downloaded the files havent read them, better do that first.

The Johnson A-65 was my first outboard back when I was 14 years old used it on many fishing trips and it never let use down , time clicked on until I was about 28 and my dad bought a QD 11 so the A-65 hung on the rack in the garage , a friend wanted a motor for his grandson so I sold it to him , . time clicked ( about 20 years ) and I get interested in old outboards and the A-65 kept coming into my mind, It took me a year and half to find one , then I restored it and ran it for the first time at Constantine , it is in my collection and will not be sold until after my wake were it will be beside my urn . here is a picture of it as it is tody

Looks absolutly brillant Bruceter, i started with an old aircooled Cresent outboard .
It came with the boat but had been under water and left.
The carburetor was to rotten to use , found another one and used ithe motor for a few years and sold it.
I know there arent a lot of parts for a A 65 so i will try very hard not to break anything.
Looks like the decal on mine is different, see picture.
