400.0. "Johnson/OMC Shop Manuals" by LLOYDJ::OSTIGUY (Oh Sugar) Wed Jun 07 1989 09:29

    Does anyone have a book on an 81 Johnson 35HP motor that I can
    borrow, zerox and return so I can do some of the minor tuning
    up on the motor myself. Know the right plug size etc.
    
    Thanks Lloyd at ACO/E50

    Check out your local library.  I got a book on a chrysler from my 
    local library, and I just  bought a mercury outboard that I have a
    request in for atmy local library.  I think that there is a series of
    books on outboardd engines (Clymers), like there is for cars
    (Chiltons).  I've had a lot of luck my my local library.  Keep in touch
    I haven't seen you for awhile.

400.2Natick's Library is too small !LLOYDJ::OSTIGUYOh SugarThu Jun 08 1989 15:487
    Rob I ahead of you there, except that the one and only
    Library I did check out was in Natick and there wasn't
    too much of a selection. Will try Framingham next. Also
    have since found out that Evinrude is the equivalent...
    is that true ?

	I think so, I have a couple or three of them in a series 
something like
	
	Recent small Johnson and Evinrude OBs, older small, recent 
large and older large.  

	I'll check, at a guess the '81 is right on the edge of what
they call recent/old - 35 is probably right on the edge of small/large
too.

400.4Appreciated !LLOYDJ::OSTIGUYOh SugarFri Jun 09 1989 09:394
    re .3 BURGESS - thanks, anything will be better than what
                    I have now. 100 % learning curve.

    Why don't you just pick one up at the local book store or at a discount
    Marine house- like Bliss Marine in Dedham. Clymer's and CVhilton both
    publish books( I prefer Clymer's). the run about $12-$14 as I recall.
    One samll repair or tune up and the book will have more than paid for
    itself.

400.6Well I'm cheap !LLOYDJ::OSTIGUYOh SugarTue Jun 13 1989 14:159
    re .5     Actually the place I go to in Ashland have one
              for $ 25.00 which is too much for me for what I
              want to do with it etc. Seems excessive but the
              books covers other stuff I dont need or want (at
              this time). A friend is going to bring his copy
              in and I can copy the pages I want. $ 12.-14 would\
              be reasonable.
    
    Thanks for the suggestion anyways - Lloyd

	I  FINALLY  got around to digging through my bookshelf.  
Sorry, what you have is too big and too young to be covered by what I 
have.

    	I just got a manual for my 4hp Evinrude from M&E. This book covers
    tuneups and repair for one and two cylinder motors from Evinrude and
    Johnson. Supposed to cover models for about 8 years or so. Got it
    yesterday so I can't vouch for its accuracy or worth but its a manual!
    M&E toll free @ 800-541-6501. You could try em.
