Two questions. First, I picked up a small Johnson outboard. No model number on the flywheel. As a clue, the rope socket is held on by four bolts. The motor is covered in a lot of crust. Does anybody know where I need to look for a model/serial number? I have looked at the transom mount, and underneath the powerhead, but can’t find any stamp. I’m new at this, so don’t worry about offending me with the obvious.
I can’t think of a small early Johnson having 4 screws on
the rope sheave. I would think that would be a good clue
for someone that is really knowledgeable in the early
Johnsons. Is it a square gas tank motor? How many
cylinders? Is it painted a color or is it silver?
