Need advice on Buying an Engine

[AtlDawg]

I am looking at a 1985 Johnson 140 model J140TLCO. Is this a good engine or does anyone know about any problems?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Cliff

A torque monster. The 1985's came with a V6 style gearcase so you can use a large diameter prop. <br /><br />A darn good motor in my opinion.

OK Thanks... Sounds like I might need to go for it.
