Just got a late 60's early 70's Johnson 9.5 sea horse boat engine for 75$....Cant wait to try it.
Mr. Crazycart:
Are you considering mounting this to a kart? If so, I'd be very interested in knowing how you will go about it.
I am currently bidding on a Johnson 5 hp and have no idea what I'm up against. I need a winter project but may be biting off more than I can chew.
The fact that these are water cooled may be enough to stop me dead in my tracks. The idea of adding a cooling system doesn't exactly thrill me. However, I don't give up easily.
I also envision pto as a source of major Advil moments.
I have extensive experience on outboards, but only from a powerhead standpoint.
If it works...will open a whole new window of opportunity for those of us who think outside the box.
