    This ’67 Johnson six horse was destined for the smelter when I found it but after replacing the water pump, ignition system, the swivel tube and installing a carb kit, it came to life on the third pull. I also installed a later model gearcase off the rack as I was out of seals for the original one. A quick rattle can paint job and it’s good to go now. But I’m still wondering, was fifteen dollars too much to pay for it in the first place?

    Here’s a short video.

    You HAVE to pay something, when you’re in the business of flipping motors; otherwise, it’s stealing…… 😉

    Long live American manufacturing!

    Great job as always Mumbles! What brand and color paint did you use? Also, do you use a little Dawn in the drum?

    Yah, you are in to it WAY too much! I could use a few good deals like that. Those little 6 hp’s are just a handy size to have.
