Older Johnson

[1-old-outboard]

I found a older Johnson but without the normal rope sheave top. I think it may be a A-50. I would think this came up before, but I can’t find it in Ask A Member. It appears like it may be some sort of early recoil or start mechanism. Any Ideas? Thanks Randy S.

I was a recoil start motor. What is missing is the top portion that contained the latch mechanism and spring. They were problematic and often tossed. I’ve (in my limited exposure) only seen one complete one.

CAN SEND A PIC BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW.

Where in the world did the rewind bolt down to?

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

That’s per-dee.
Just for practice how about some
more pictures of that motor.

Do you mind if I ad that to my motor picture collection?

Thanks all, I wouldn’t have thought it looked like that. Great Information. I was looking for odd ball parts at auction, hoping to match something up. Still neat old motor.

So, are these outboards in fact Johnson A-50 ‘s?
I want to add the pics to my archive.
I’m guessing I’ll never see one with a rewind like those!

Prepare to be boarded!
