Ok, my Dad handed me four old outboard motors, he said they just take up space...<br />Anyways, there's two that have caught my eye, and I can't find the year anywhere on the motors?<br />If anyone can help me out that would be great :) <br /><br />The first one is a Johnson Seahorse 5 HP. Serial no.111262, model no.TN27<br /><br />The second one is really strange looking? It's a Clarke, model 3HP outboard, made by the DR. Clarke Company.<br /><br />I started up both these motors, and they both run like a charm, I was very surprised, but my Dad did say when he last took them off his boats, some 10 years+, he had them both serviced and preped for storage... I guess that helped.<br /><br />The other two motors, look in perfect shape, but were left outside with no spark plugs for a couple of years. They both seem to be seazed. Note: these two where given to my Dad, he never used them himself.
