    Ignition alarm

    25hp Johnson won't start

    No I didn't change the condensers. The only way I can think of to change point opening is to relocate the cam keyway.

    25hp Johnson won't start

    25hp Johnson won't start

    I previously posted this issue some time ago without success, I'm at a loss & once again ask for advice to try and get motor running. Since I received this motor not running I checked out the part numbers of flywheel points cam etc. (all good). I should mention that I have installed a new...

    Timing Retard

    Thanks for reply. I was concerned that I wasn't explaining problem too well So I'll try again, I actually did what you suggested this afternoon haven't tried to start motor yet.
