Default 85 HP Johnson

I picked up a lappy project boat last month and finally had time
to clean the carbs and check the motor out that came with the boat.

It is a 1975 Johnson with a 20 inch shaft and no TNT....

After soaking the carbs and reinstalling, I checked the compression which comes in at 128lbs. on all four cyclinders... There was a a bad ground
on the number one coil of which I fixed as well..
Has 4 new plugs to boot.

Make a long story short this ole' girl runs like a top!!!

It could use a new impeller and a gear lube change to make it right..

It comes with the control box, cables, (not the best, but work)
SST prop, looks to be 13 X 19 not sure though....

I have this listed on CL for 500 clams!

Family price on CSC $300

It starts right up and runs great!
Currently mounted on a roll around stand for demo purposes.

I have had a couple of tire kicker calls...
Hey, it is what it is! Oldie but goodie..

Come and get it at Area 442..
