Hi fattylyons. Cool old motor you got there. One of the all time greats in fact. It sounds like you're on the right track, but I would go ahead and rebuild the carb in addition to the lower unit service. You can get a ignition components, carb rebuild kits and lower unit reseal kits all right here at iboats for about $20 each. The lower unit reseal kit will come with new white, nylon crush washers for the DRAIN and VENT screws in additon to the oil seals themselves. If you should need to pull the flywheel to service the ignition, you'll need to use a flywheel puller with GRADE 8 bolts and washers as the bolts the puller comes with will not be strong enough for the job. You'll need 3, 1/4'' x 20 x 3'' GRADE 8 bolts and washers which you can get at any Lowes/HD. You'll also want to use Champion J4C or J6C spark plugs with a 24:1 fuel/oil mix. Here are some great links that can walk you through a tune up from top to bottom, including the fuel pump conversion. Holler if you get stuck.
Re: 1957 Johnson 18hp FDE-11 New to Outboards [links]
I was handed down my grandfather's 1957 Johnson FDE-11 just recently and I'm planning to do a complete overhaul after I use it this season. It's been sitting for a long time but my father said he had it running and working fine in a bucket.
Re: 1957 Johnson 18hp FDE-11 New to Outboards
Will I need the seals for the vent plugs or is that included in the lower unit kit? If it runs do I need to mess with anything else out of the gate? here
No matter what I plan to replace the water pump, lower seal, and gear oil in the lower unit soon. It appears to have sat in the water for some time so I suspect there could be water in the lower unit. I have an order with Iboat set up for:
1957 Johnson Outboard Owner's Manual 376907 - Ken Cook Co.
1957 Johnson Outboard Parts Catalog 377022 - Ken Cook Co.
Water Pump Repair Kit for Johnson/Evinrude 382468 - Sierra
Lower Unit Gear Housing Seal Kit for Johnson/Evinrude, GLM 87606 - Sierra more
RPM Information: 4500
Your engine's RPM range is important in choosing the right propeller for a given application. For example, if you look at your tachometer at top speed and it is not within the engine's RPM range then that is generally not good. You want your RPM's to be within the proper range while at wide open throttle (WOT). Be sure to do your testing under your normal boating conditions and with a good propeller (not bent, cracked, or excessively chipped).
The iboats Outboard Motor Forums are another excellent source of information. more

OK, if the 10 and 18 hp motor in 1957 both use 377147 gear set, my parts list gives separate numbers for the three gears used in a 10hp 1957 motor. Are these then the same for the 1957 18hp motor? Forward 376715, Reverse 304570, Pinion 304569 1957 10hp here
I believe the whole units will bolt up, but the gear ratios are different, meaning the gears are different.

Well, a little more digging did find something. Your pinion showed up in 1964 Evinrude edition of Quick Reference Guide. #304569 shows for Sportwin 10012-10013 motors #04719 & up – 10014-10015.
Shows gear set assy. #377147 for Sportwin 10012-10013 & Fastwin 15016 thru 15024. [links]
Questions for the experts: "Would a 1957 Johnson 10hp lower unit as a whole interchange with a 1957 Johnson 18hp whole lower unit? Is the gear ratio the same? The drive shafts are the same part number. The 10hp gears are available for separate sale, but the 18hp gears are only available as a set? Are the 10hp gears straight cut and the 18hp gears spiral cut? Thanks for any info."
