I had to go back and redo things. I couldn't leave it the way it was with timing at 19° BTDC, it just didn't look right. I attached a picture of what that adjustment bolt looked like, ready to slip off the plate when adjusted at 19.
I kept digging around online and came across another forum...
Well, my back is not 100% and by the numbers from my compression test, neither is my motor haha. I got 80ish on both cylinders (a hair above 80 but not much). I actually was closer than I expected on the timing. Hooked up the light and was at about 16° BTDC. Since I don't have the rubber...
Thanks for the info. I haven't been able to tinker with the motor for a few days now, had a back issue and trying to recover from that. I did get a hold of a timing light and a compression tester but my back isn't having it right now. Rubber stop you say? My o/b doesn't have one. After cleaning...
The only number I see on that plug is the G2609437. I'm going with 1988 but not sure of model number at this point. The engine was not running right after cleaning the carbs. I didn't realize that what I thought was an idle screw, adjusted idle by changing the ignition timing which I'm sure is...

It's not revving up like it used to. Topping out around 6 mph, used to hit 30. Fouled out the spark plugs as well. I am running 50:1 mixed. I did install a new impeller not too long ago, maybe a couple of months. It ran fine a couple of seasons ago. I did not take it out last season. Pretty sure...
Had to edit my original post. Not sure why I thought the cowl said evinrude. Ran out back to take a couple of pics and saw it says Johnson. I attached some pics. I'm assuming it's original paint scheme.
Hey,
I'm new here and not sure if there is a thread dedicated to this already. I attempted to search but did not come up with a result. If I should have posted this somewhere else, I'm sorry but if anyone can help me out, thanks in advance!
I have an outboard that I know nearly nothing about and...
