OM or SM for 1978 Johnson 115hp
Submitted by Tradewind on Tue, 2013-08-13 09:41
Morning all,
I've done a few searches on the net but only really coming up with a few obscure sites in America.
I'm chasing an Owners Manual and/or a Service Manual for my 1978 Johnson 115HP
It's running alright but I'd like to be able to get a better understanding for care of the old engine
If you've got one but want to sell it PM me and let me know
Thanks!

This one is a Johnson manual for that year and hp but $43 AUD for the book and $30 postage...

Thanks for taking the time to look for it.
Having an interesting problem. I had to replace the fuel line as the boat didn't come with it
I bought an evinrude/johnson 8mm fuel line from BCF.
It clips/secures on the fuel tank but it wont on the intake on the Johnson.
It seems like it fits flush but it wont clip in and secure
Any thoughts on changes over the years that'd affect this?
I've had a google but come up empty handed so far

Looks great, thanks
Looks great, thanks Ambiance.
It seems they changed the connections in the mid 80s, so the standard BCF one will most likely be for the newer fittings (Even though they pretty much look the same)
