Dealer Letter #102

SUBJECT: Break-In Instructions

Gentlemen:

You have probably noticed a warning sticker affixed to the motor covers of current 1964 Johnson Motors, calling attention to the correct fuel mixture for the break in period.

You will also recall having received Service Bulletin number 980, dated September 19, 1963 advising you of the need to call to your customer’s attention the necessity of following to the letter the break-in procedures called for in the Owners Manual.

The first production motors in the 1964 line do not have the warning sticker referred to above, and all 1964 JW and JH motors will not have this warning sticker attached.

It is most important that this warning sticker not be removed. It is to be left on the cover and can be removed easily by the customer. On those motors which were produced prior to the time the sticker was attached at the factory, be sure the customer is instructed on the correct fuel mixture during the break-in period. This instruction will also be necessary to all purchasers of the 1964 3 horsepower motors as these models (JW and JH) will not have the warning stickers attached as they are manufactured in Belgium.

Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated and is a necessary service to your customers’ satisfaction with his 1964 Johnson motor.
