    Questions about purchasing a 1982 75 HP 3 cylinder Johnson

    I think with smaller , like aux sized motors there's half a chance that its done bugger all work .... I have a 6hp Zuki , had it 3 years and it hasnt got 2 hrs on it , so your looking at the ravishes of age and poor storage rather than broken knackeredness .:)
