Hi Guys
Im a vintage merc guy & not real familiar with electronic ignition, but my buddy picked up a Johnson 55 3cyl hydro-electric shift loop charged motor
firstly where do I find a serial to determine the year?
great compression, no spark , when I open & close the throttle arm with the key...
I was given a Montgomery Ward 7.5hp and was told it ran till the carb was fooled with, it runs for a couple seconds and stops
I decided the first thing id do was to clean the tillitson carb, despite the unfamiliar carb linkage I noticed that something was a miss.
the spark advance linkage...
