Johnson Manaul

Post by VivaSportiva »

I have recently purchased the Owens Speedboat with a 40hp electromatique model RK24L and would appreciate any help with regards to service manuals .Whilst the engine runs it will not charge its battery and will not go into reverse so there is a problem there somewhere which needs sorting. Reading the listings before I believe T15 may have what I am looking for. :thanks:

I've got spare a Seloc, Clymer and a factory 1969 Johnson 40hp (covers the selectric box too) manuals - you're welcome to borrow for a few days?

If you want to hunt one down to buy on ebay is Johnson Evinrude Seloc 1300 (1 and 2 cylinder outboards 1956 to 70) . Clymer is Evinrude Johnson B734 (1.5 to 125hp 1965 to 1972) both are 25 quid or so. The factory ones are readily available 2nd hand from Amazon or ebay and will be around 9 quid.

T15.Very many thanks for the spare parts manual for the 40hp Johnson which I received extremely quickly and I must say it is all becoming a lot clearer now .This outboard world is a new one for me since I have always been an inboard man at heart but good interesting inboard boats are either very expensive or just not available so I opted to go for the Owens that was for sale which is all original and in good condition for 40 years old even the seats are original and in great order.The outboard runs but will not charge its battery and will not go into reverse but I will keep digging until I find the trouble.Thanks again for your help. :thanks:
