Thank you, I will look this up and post a reply in about a week.

is there anyway to tell if it was a canadian or us motor? i think that is why we are seeing 2 versions.

seriously, 10 hp is too much? is that typical? how much will they let you have? i did get a picture of the 1956 decals from the internet somewhere, so i am ok in that department. just don't know why some MAY have had round knobs. they were hard to see from the side view. thanks again so much.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!! Now the big question. How come some pics show a round upper knob and some pics show a needle, like yours?? I have not seen the actual faceplate til now, thank you, but the ones I have seen from the side kinda looked round. Which is why I am confused and why I...

Well I was trying to avoid that cause I already got 120 bucks into it so far. And I was just fixing it up to sell. Now I will be compelled to keep it. But this is really puzzling me. I even checked to make sure they had the right coils in there. And they did. Can anyone help?

Well I probably wouldn't mind painting it, especially if I get my motor looking good. But I couldn't sand around that decal and so I would need new decals for it. So it doesn't look like a rare can or anything so I guess I'm good. Say do you have any idea what that square thing is that sticks...

Thanks Mike, It looks like OMC and AD then a bunch of letters and then ES Is this important or am I just reading too many vintage outboard forums?

Hey guys, I got a 1956 and a 1954 10 and 5.5 hp Johnson outboards. They came with a dual line gas tank too. Does anybody know if they can identify the label below that is on the side of the tank? The greenish looking color is the metal of the can. There definitely looks like some kind of...
