I know nothing of this outboard, which I recently purchased, other then I was told was a Johnson 25HP. My nephew came out to see if her could get it to start, but the pull rope won't pull. At first he thought it was froze up, but the prop turns and it seems to shift into gears ok. The previous owner had painted it green and a little black with a paint brush to camoflauge it and use on his duck boat. On the hood, there are holes on both sides where metal names and designs had once been and those areas have the original color of white visible. On the right hand side of the transom mount, there is a place where there must have been a tag at one time. All that remains is a white spot and two opposing holes where the keepers had once been. I assume this is where the identification tag was located. The only number we can find is on a soft plug near the cylinder head. It has the seahorse emblem and the number 2157104 stamped on it. Any and all ideas and information of how we can find what HP, year, etc., would be greatly appreciated.<br />Thank You!
