DESCRIPTION:
Not quite what I was looking for. E. Herring This would be a great book for someone collecting old outboard motors.I was looking for more technical information on an old Johnson I aquired recently (repair & maintanence).. A great place to start!! If you've just acquired a junker, clunker or diamond in the rough, and you don't know where to begin to get it going again, then this book is for you!

The case studies are clearly illustrated and are very helpful. However, . F. Endres said Old motors. A very good book.

It gives you information on what to look for when buying a motor.The book also shows how to restore a motor, which I found very interesting and helpful. Its the book to buy.

Second, there is the enthusiast who performs a complete, authentic restoration for the pure satisfaction of returning a vintage piece
