Johnsons were green/goldI thought the color scheme for 76' was gold. I guess the smaller engines were blue.
Graphics to seem to be 76'. My mistake.
Best advice I could give is get the factory manual.
That thing looks super clean, and 15s are hard to find where I live.

Parts to keep a 1984 model 15 HP running for the next 40 years is not a problem in my opinion.----Sorry----I know how and where to shop for the parts !
Use factory points and condensors, That ignition is hard on condensors.What's the general concensus on using aftermarket parts vs OEM parts.
Specifically ignition related items (points, condensers, coils, ect)
I guess it is like anything else really. Sometimes aftermarket is good, fitment and function. Sometimes you get a bum steer. But the same goes for OEM. Right now OEM parts are everywhere it seems. Like I mentioned, go through it now, take care of it, and you will get a long life outa it. If you are worried about parts becoming sparse, buy a extra impeller, tune up kit maybe a seal or two and stick them in storage. Doubt you will ever need to touch it again really.
