old 10 HP Johnson... need parts

[RandyJ]

I've inherited an old 10 hp... not sure of year... model number is FDE10??. Need head gasket, possibly rings, could use a carb kit. Year & any parts source appreciated. Would like to get rid of the two line set up if anyone has a fuel pump I can adapt to this engine.<br />Thanks,<br />RandyJ

Howdy Randy.<br /><br />Your FDE-10 is a 1956 15hp.<br /><br />Your JohnnyRude dealer probably has the parts you need, or can get them.<br /><br />If you have no luck there, try www.twincityoutboards.com<br /><br />Good luck.

Hi Randy,<br /> Your old 15 is one of the best motors OMC ever built. Adding a fuel pump is fairly straightforward - just need an intake port cover with the fuel pump boss cast in from a 1960-early 1970s 18/20/25hp Johnrude. Plug off the pressure line feed, add any block mounted OMC fuel pump and you're off to single line land.<br /> If compression is good (after you've found a head gasket) I'd go ahead and run some de-carbon agent through it (like Sea Foam, OMC Engine Tuner, etc.) and run it! As long as the motor doesn't make any obscene noises or sound like a coffee grinder, it should be good to go. A new water pump impeller and lower unit seal kit will help keep her going. Manuals are available here and on several other sites on the net.<br /> Have fun!<br />- Scott
