Location: WI		A 1960 Johnson 3hp. My Dad bought it in the late 60's to use on a 17ft Grumman canoe. By '73 it got matched to a 12ft Starcraft, later replaced by 9.9 Evinrude. That old outboard would sit in the garage for 3 or 4 years with stale gas (ran 20:1) then when called into action it would need 2 slow pulls to prime it, then fire up after 1 good pull on the rope. Sold it in '91 when I put a trolling motor on my Alumacraft Lunker 16. I wish I'd never sold that ol' warhorse. Probably still going strong.
