[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 378666, member: 16014"] Here is the motor I picked up on Saturday for $50. It as a 1959 Johnson Seahorse CD-16 5 1/2 hp. It turns but obviously will not run right now. I have plans to convert it from a pressurized tank, to a basic single line with a fuel pump, as well as giving it a full tune up. Once cleaned up it should be a strong running motor as the old Johnsons often were. The cowl is obviously destroyed. At some point in the motor's history, someone tried to start it by giving it a shot of ether but failed to check the position of the stroke. it was in the UP position and as soon as they tried to start it, they naturally blew out the front of the cowl and started it on fire hence the melted carb adjustment knob. I was able to locate, by some miracle, a new engine cowl which should be here by next week (pictures when it gets here.) [/QUOTE]
