    1981 Johnson 115hp 4 cyl

    To elaborate more on what Crosby and Race are saying, there is a tan wire coming out of each head. About 3 inches up that tan wire has a black rubber boot...you can either peal that back or do what I do and stuff a metal pick in it, than touch any clean ground while the key is in the on...

    95 to 140... Could be your compression tester. I have 3...they all read differently. Check it right after you've earned it up.

    1994 140hp evinrude

    S So 3/8 gap on all cylinders? Good blue spark? Compression states well used. Take it out for a spin.

    1994 140hp evinrude

    Spark means nothing....buy an inexpensive spark gap tester like Racerone suggested...cheap at any auto parts store. Could be an ignition coil.

    Something is wonky. Take the ground off the s and ground the body of the solenoid.

    ‘77 Johnson 70hp Starter Troubleshooting

    Well, this is an 1987 70 hp rude...it's mounted closer to the starter. I'd make sure you have adequate clearance.

    ‘77 Johnson 70hp Starter Troubleshooting

    Another possible issue is your starter wire looks awfully close to contacting a ground. Check clearances. Might have been a blessing in disguise that you wired the solenoid wrong...in fact I think maybe the solenoid is in its mount wrong. I have a 70 so I'll go check.
