Hey guys, I just bought this motor that "needed a new carburetor". So I took it apart to clean it up and noticed it was missing a screw or something. The oil injection has been removed and I was wondering if they didn't plug the hole or something. I looked at the diagram and it doesn't show...
I took the four bolts out of the bottom and the nut on the back,.. what am I missing? I took the little plate off the side with the 2 flat heads and it looks like i can disconnect the shift cable there.. but its a small hole and i hate to do it and not be able to reconnect it.
I have a 1979 Johnson 35hp (35el79a that I recently transplanted to my aluminum boat from a donor boat. After re-wiring the engine, controls, and cleaning the carb it fired up with half a turn. But, I didn't see any water coming out anywhere, just some smoke. I only ran it for about 10 seconds...
