[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 261822, member: 3278"] Hopefully you will have a good engine to put back into service. Remember that it is not inexpensive to do this properly, however your initial cost is so low it should be easily worth it. You will need to check and update the ignition components if this hasnt been done. Update the water pump and check the gearcase for leaks and reseal as necessary. Go through the carb and install a new kit while there. Am hoping you will repaint the engine in the original 1958 color scheme which was really nice looking. Proper water slide or newer vinyl decals are also available. This engine, as with your 1958 Johnson, has to be run on no less than 24:1 fuel/oil mixture to give you a long service life. Anything less and you will have slow but continually degrading running characteristics and eventually junk on your transom. Good luck with your engine and nice find ! [/QUOTE]
