    1992 40HP Johnson

    Hello I have a 40 horse Johnson outboard on a Tracker boat. I had to completely rebuild the powerhead when I bought the boat due to what I think was a failure with the oil injection. Anyway, I got 95% done with about three years ago, lost interest, and there it sat in my garage until I...
