1950 Johnson 22 HP PO15

This 22 horsepower Johnson outboard, manufactured in 1950, is a freshwater model. The engine weight is recorded at 115 lbs. This is a 2 cylinder model. The displacement for the pistons is 29.92. The bore for this outboard is 2.75 inches and the stroke is 2.52 inches. This engine has power steering and a rope-type starter.
I've also read they are bitch to start.
22 hp from 30 ci, I'll bet the compression was pretty high, horizontal cylinders might be letting oil by, carburetors might run rich to make up for crap gas. 1940s technology.
