    75 85hp Johnson Iginition trouble

    I actually have two problems. 1)Ignition is not responding at all when the key is turned, however the choke will still operate.

    Water condensing on carbs of 60 hp Merc

    New to the site, and thought I would ask a question that I would have liked to ask last summer. My carbs on my 1995 Merc 60hp (actually a 45hp jet drive, but 60hp powerhead)sweet a good deal of water.

    Old Johnson not ran in 12 years

    I inherited a 1974 85hp Johnson from my grandpa. It has been sitting up for about 12 years. I am wondering if it is worth trying to get running for starters, and if so what I need to do to it. Any advice would be great. Thanks! :)
