Racer: Are you sure it was in Sturtavant and not Waukegan? Is it a johnson or Evinrude? There is a Johnson in Waukegan in Marine Engineering and it is the old 2 piece crank engine. If you look closely it has a large flywheel nut and then a smaller nut on top of it. This was the nut that torqued the bolt that held the 2 cranks together. It also has the diecast flywheel. The newer versions had a flex plate flywheel. It appears to be a partial mockup as we never used black carbs, also the entrance of the carbs are not radiused and the steering arms were polished alum not black.
