MOTOR DESCRIPTION:
This auction is for the pictured 1958 model year Johnson Model CD-15 short shaft 5 1/2 horsepower outboard motor- a decent looking ALL original motor that is only missing the plastic medallion best I can tell. I have owned this motor for about two weeks and have been too busy to do much of anything but check it over for completeness and I did compression test it- 90 pounds even on both cylinders- nice even compression. These 5 1/2 horsepower motors will run with 65 pounds and the more you have than that, the nicer they will run.
I did also remove the peek window on the top of the flywheel to observe condition fo the ignition components. i saw one TINY hairline crack each in each coil. The motor does not throw spark right now. It's probably safe to say that it will need new coils to be a really good reliable motor. The last thing you need is for the motor to warm up and then tiny crack in a coil short out to the mag plate and you have to paddle home. Sometimes "no spark" is from dirty points or failed condenser but any sort of visible cracks in coils are bad.
This one should be a great running motor after some basic cleanup. The cylinder head does have paint stripped away- from an OLD mouse nest. But with good strong and even compression, the mouse nest did no damage. The motor does not stink like mouse urine. These 5 1/2 horsepower OMC's are legendary GREAT fishing motors- will idle down to a troll and sip modestly on the fuel at all times. NO RESERVE!!!
TRANSACTION TERMS:

Ford's young driver training proves a hit
Thu, 17 Oct 2013FORD'S new young driver training programme, dubbed Ford Driving Skills for Life, has proved an instant hit with the first two sessions being substantially oversubscribed. Over 500 applications were made for the 300 free places available at Excel in London and the Trafford Centre in Manchester, and the participants aged between 17 and 24 received tips and guidance in the controlled environment of a purpose-built track. Manchester University student, Ryan Harrison, who took part in the free driver training, said: “I’ve learned so much today, especially in the skid car, learning what I’ve done wrong in the past without realising it and where to put my hands on the wheel.
