"Hello from Ontario Canada. I

"Hello from Ontario Canada. I always wanted to start collecting older outboard engines as they remind me of when I was a kid hangin' out with my Uncle George up at the cottage in Blind River Ontario. Great memories wrenching on his wee collection of motors and the smell of 2 stroke oil, nothin' better!!
Anyways I got my big break yesterday at a yard sale down the street. One of my neighbors sold me a '74, 4 H.P. Johnson outboard with the duffle bag carrying case and the original auxilary gas tank all for $75 bucks (Canuck bucks which is about $60 USD).
I'd like to know if I got a deal, which is most likely a stupid question but hey it don't hurt to ask right? And he said it runs great but I should sleeve one of the spark plug holes, he even gave me the kit with which to do it. Can anyone fill me in on how to do that task?
Thanks, looking forward to talkin' at ya!!"

Thanks for your help. I also got a 5 horse with it model 56026. Is the mix the same for both and what year is the 5 hp. Also these motors were ran last year and the sale I bought them at was for a guy who always was on top of any repairs but is there any failings with these models.
