[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 274059, member: 7791"] Well I bought another motor today and I was thrown off a little by the shifter attachment that was on it. It looks like it came from the factory this way but I don't ever recall seeing one like this. It is a Johnson 6RL71G and has this big slide shifter on the tiller handle with a shifter cable that goes around to the shift lever on the side, so that you don't have to reach around the motor to shift it. Really kinda cool actually. Anyway for $140 plus 2 original fuel tanks and fittings I couldn't pass it up. Hadn't ran in 15yrs but she fired up after 3 pulls and good fuel. I need a new impeller though.... If you have seen this before please feel free to chime in.....maybe Pappy is lurking in here today :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCN6850.JPG"]40527._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCN6851.JPG"]40528._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
