1967 johnson 6hp

Josh,

You can get a repair kit for that pump from Napa, for around $15. The instructions for repair can be found on Leroy's site. Have to take care to be very clean, but I have repaired two different OMC pumps with success.

You maintain that thing and you'll have a motor for life.

Nice work.

Be safe. =D>

It's kinda like anything else. If you take care of it and do proper maintenance (and it's not a piece of Chinese crap) it will last a long time.
These motors are cool 'cause they are made in the USA when the USA made stuff and when the USA made stuff it was the best a person could get.

I have a couple USA motors and they all run great, no issue!
