[QUOTE="OregonTroutBum, post: 178726, member: 4739"] Yeah - I noticed the broken throttle handle after googling images (there was a pic of a similar one on smalloutboards.com). But the lever is still there (it's a "t" flush with the top of the motor) and it's still workable as it is. This one has an external tank with it. I imagine 3.3 gallons of gas would run you all weekend with this motor. The sticker on the motore says to use a 100:1 gas mix, but I read that Johnson put out a notice in the late 80's saying to use a 50:1 ratio. Hopefully I'll get it out on the water next weekend and run it a bit. Work + limited daylight hours precludes doing anything on weekday evenings. HURRY UP SPRING! [/QUOTE]
