Inherited a 1928 Johnson K-40. Before I invest $100+ in manuals I need to know that I can get parts. For sure I need float bowl cover and hot air tube for carb and gas tank/shroud. Where can I get these parts? Also, anyone know what cylinder compression should be, ignition points gap and fuel mix ratio? |

Cliff, The actual parts I need are the complete gas tank assembly (p/n 16-111) and the complete steering handle (p/n 18-183) Part #'s are from original Johnson Parts Catalog. I made a float bowl cover and breather tube so don't need those now. Can you help or direct me to someone who can? Thanks |

Anyone know what point gap should be for 1928 Johnson K40, S/N 90935, and also where to position the retard/advance ignition plate to start with and why this plate has to be moved at all once you get the ignition timing in about the right place? Seems to be a very wide range of motion for this and I don't know why. |

Unfortunately those parts do not cross or do not have a interchange number but you may find them on the link above |
