Here we have a nice example of an antique outboard. This 1930 Johnson K-50 is in excellent cosmetic condition for its age. It looks to be an older restoration. It has spark and compression. The magneto has been gone thru recently, coils are new replacements.
Compression is good at 75 psi in both cylinders (And those readings were achieved dry in literal 0 degree weather too). I shot gas in the cylinders and it fired right up. There are a few dents and dings in the tank, and the decal has worn and peeled up in some spots. The polish work would look great freshened up. This motor still displays very well as it sits now, and it is an excellent candidate for restoration. Great old depression era Johnson rotary valve outboard motor.
